Answer

$y'=4(x^{2}+x^{3})^{3}(2x+3x^{2})$

Work Step by Step

Start with function: $y=(x^{2}+x^{3})^{4}$. Let $u = x^{2}+x^{3}$. Substitute u into function: $y=u^{4}$. Differentiate using power rule: $y' = 4u^{3}u'$. $u'=2x+3x^{2}$. Substitute values for $u$ and $u'$ back into equation to arrive at the answer: $y'=4(x^{2}+x^{3})^{3}(2x+3x^{2})$.
