Answer

inside: $g(x)=2x+5$ outside: $f(g)=3\sin(g(x))+7$ derivative: $f^{\prime}(x)=6\cos (2x+5)$

Work Step by Step

Given$$ f(x)=3 \sin (2 x+5)+7 $$ Use the chain rule to take the derivative $$ \frac{d f(g(x))}{d x}=f^{\prime}(g(x)) g^{\prime}(x) $$ Here $g(x)=2x+5$ and $f(g)=3\sin(g(x))+7,$ then \begin{align*} f^{\prime}(x) &=\left(3\sin(g(x))+7\right)^{\prime} \\ &=(3\cos(g(x)))g^{\prime}(x) \\ &=(3\cos(g(x)))(2) \\ &=6\cos (2x+5) \end{align*}
