Find the derivative of LaTeX:  \displaystyle y = \frac{\left(- 7 x - 2\right)^{3} \sin^{8}{\left(x \right)}}{\left(3 x - 7\right)^{7} \cos^{5}{\left(x \right)}}

Taking the natural logarithm of both sides of the equation and expanding the right hand side gives: LaTeX:  \ln(y) = \ln{\left(\frac{\left(- 7 x - 2\right)^{3} \sin^{8}{\left(x \right)}}{\left(3 x - 7\right)^{7} \cos^{5}{\left(x \right)}} \right)}   Expanding the right hand side using the product and quotient properties of logarithms gives: LaTeX:  \ln(y) = 3 \ln{\left(- 7 x - 2 \right)} + 8 \ln{\left(\sin{\left(x \right)} \right)}- 7 \ln{\left(3 x - 7 \right)} - 5 \ln{\left(\cos{\left(x \right)} \right)}   Taking the derivative on both sides of the equation yields: LaTeX:  \frac{y'}{y} = \frac{5 \sin{\left(x \right)}}{\cos{\left(x \right)}} + \frac{8 \cos{\left(x \right)}}{\sin{\left(x \right)}} - \frac{21}{3 x - 7} - \frac{21}{- 7 x - 2}   Solving for LaTeX:  \displaystyle y' and substituting out y using the original equation gives LaTeX:  y' = \left(\frac{5 \sin{\left(x \right)}}{\cos{\left(x \right)}} + \frac{8 \cos{\left(x \right)}}{\sin{\left(x \right)}} - \frac{21}{3 x - 7} - \frac{21}{- 7 x - 2}\right)\left(\frac{\left(- 7 x - 2\right)^{3} \sin^{8}{\left(x \right)}}{\left(3 x - 7\right)^{7} \cos^{5}{\left(x \right)}} \right)   Using some Trigonometric identities to simplify gives LaTeX:  y' = \left(\frac{8}{\tan{\left(x \right)}} - \frac{21}{- 7 x - 2}5 \tan{\left(x \right)} - \frac{21}{3 x - 7}\right)\left(\frac{\left(- 7 x - 2\right)^{3} \sin^{8}{\left(x \right)}}{\left(3 x - 7\right)^{7} \cos^{5}{\left(x \right)}} \right)
