#(dy)/(dx)=2/xlnx cos(ln(x)^2+2)#

Explanation:

Here ,

#y=sin(ln(x)^2+2)#

Let , # y=sinu# , where, #color(red)(u=ln(x)^2+2#

#=>(dy)/(du)=cosu and (du)/(dx)=2lnx*1/x=2/xlnx#

Using Chain Rule:

#color(blue)((dy)/(dx)=(dy)/(du)*(du)/(dx)#

#:.(dy)/(dx)=cosu xx 2/xlnx=2/xlnxcosu#

Subst. #color(red)(u=ln(x)^2+2#

#:.(dy)/(dx)=2/xlnx cos(ln(x)^2+2)#
