SUMMARY
The derivative of the function F(x) = cos(x) * sin(5x² + 7) is calculated using the product rule, resulting in the expression -sin(x) * sin(5x² + 7) + (10x) * cos(x) * cos(5x² + 7). The discussion emphasizes the application of the product rule along with the chain rule and power rule for differentiation. Simplification of the resulting expression is deemed minimal, as no further reduction is necessary or possible.
