    I think the question is ((cosx)^3)*sin(x).Am I right?The formula for d(uv)/dx=u(dv/dx)+v(du/dx).And of course I think you need only formula.Do you need answer?

    Thats it chain rule or something:


    d(uv)/dx=u(dv/dx)+v(du/dx)

    u=sin(x)
    v=cos^3(x)

    (dv/dx) = -3sin((x))cos^2(x)
    (du/dx) = cos(x)

    d(uv)/dx= -3sin^2(x)cos^2(x) + cos^4(x)

    Is this correct?
