Answer

$$y'=\theta^2e^{-2\theta}\Big((3-2\theta)\cos5\theta-5\theta\sin5\theta\Big)$$

Work Step by Step

$$y=\theta^3e^{-2\theta}\cos5\theta=(\theta^3e^{-2\theta})(\cos5\theta)$$ The derivative of function $y$ is $$y'=(\theta^3e^{-2\theta})'(\cos5\theta)+(\theta^3e^{-2\theta})(\cos5\theta)'$$ According to the Chain Rule, we have $$(\theta^3e^{-2\theta})'=(\theta^3)'e^{-2\theta}+\theta^3(e^{-2\theta})'=3\theta^2e^{-2\theta}+\theta^3(e^{-2\theta})(-2\theta)'$$ $$=3\theta^2e^{-2\theta}-2\theta^3e^{-2\theta}$$ $$(\cos5\theta)'=-\sin5\theta(5\theta)'=-5\sin5\theta$$ Therefore, $$y'=(3\theta^2e^{-2\theta}-2\theta^3e^{-2\theta})\cos5\theta-5\theta^3e^{-2\theta}\sin5\theta$$ $$y'=\theta^2e^{-2\theta}(3-2\theta)\cos5\theta-5\theta^3e^{-2\theta}\sin5\theta$$ $$y'=\theta^2e^{-2\theta}\Big((3-2\theta)\cos5\theta-5\theta\sin5\theta\Big)$$
