Find the derivative of \(\displaystyle f(x) = \sin{\left(7^{x^{\frac{3}{2}}} \right)}\).
Decomposing the function gives \(\displaystyle f(u) = \sin{\left(u \right)}\), \(\displaystyle u = 7^{v}\), and \(\displaystyle v = x^{\frac{3}{2}}.\) Using the chain rule \(\displaystyle f'(x) = \frac{df}{du}\frac{du}{dv}\frac{dv}{dx}\). \(\displaystyle f'(x) = (\cos{\left(u \right)})(7^{v} \ln{\left(7 \right)})(\frac{3 \sqrt{x}}{2}) = \frac{3 \cdot 7^{v} \sqrt{x} \ln{\left(7 \right)} \cos{\left(u \right)}}{2}\). Substituting back in \(\displaystyle u\) and \(\displaystyle v\) gives \(\displaystyle f'(x) = \frac{3 \cdot 7^{v} \sqrt{x} \ln{\left(7 \right)} \cos{\left(7^{v} \right)}}{2} = \frac{3 \cdot 7^{x^{\frac{3}{2}}} \sqrt{x} \ln{\left(7 \right)} \cos{\left(7^{x^{\frac{3}{2}}} \right)}}{2}\).

\soln{9cm}{Decomposing the function gives $f(u) = \sin{\left(u \right)}$, $u = 7^{v}$, and $ v = x^{\frac{3}{2}}.$ Using the chain rule $f'(x) = \frac{df}{du}\frac{du}{dv}\frac{dv}{dx}$. $f'(x) = (\cos{\left(u \right)})(7^{v} \ln{\left(7 \right)})(\frac{3 \sqrt{x}}{2}) = \frac{3 \cdot 7^{v} \sqrt{x} \ln{\left(7 \right)} \cos{\left(u \right)}}{2}$.
