Answer

inside: $g(x)= 7 \sin (5 x+4)+3$ outside: $f(g)= (g(x))^2$ derivative: $f^{\prime}(x)=70(7 \sin (5 x+4)+3 )(\cos(5x+4))$

Work Step by Step

Given$$ f(x)=(7 \sin (5 x+4)+3)^{2} $$ Use the chain rule to take the derivative $$ \frac{d f(g(x))}{d x}=f^{\prime}(g(x)) g^{\prime}(x) $$ Here $g(x)=7 \sin (5 x+4)+3$ and $f(g)= ( g(x) )^{2},$ then \begin{align*} f^{\prime}(x) &=\left( (g(x) )^{2}\right)^{\prime} \\ &=2( g(x) )g^{\prime}(x) \\ &=(2)(g(x))(35\cos(5x+4))\\ &=70(7 \sin (5 x+4)+3 )(\cos(5x+4)) \end{align*}
