Answer

$$y'=-12\cos^3(\sin^3x)\sin(\sin^3x)\sin^2x\cos x$$

Work Step by Step

$$y'=(\cos^4(\sin^3x))'=4\cos^3(\sin^3x)\cdot(\cos(\sin^3x))'= 4\cos^3(\sin^3x)\cdot(-\sin(\sin^3x))\cdot(\sin^3x)'= -4\cos^3(\sin^3x)\cdot\sin(\sin^3x)\cdot3\sin^2x\cdot(\sin x)'= -12\cos^3(\sin^3x)\sin(\sin^3x)\sin^2x\cos x$$
