You should remember that you need to use the chain rule when you should evaluate the derivative of composition of functions such that:
`(f(g(x)))' = f'(g(x))*g'(x)*x'`
Reasoning by analogy yields:
`(dy)/(dx) = (d(e^(sin(42x))))/(dx)`
`(dy)/(dx) = (d(e^(sin(42x))))/(dx)*(d(sin (42 x)))/(dx)*(d(42x))/(dx)`
`(dy)/(dx) = e^(sin(42x))*cos(42x)*42`
Hence, evaluating the derivative of the given composition of functions, using the chain rule, yields `(dy)/(dx) = 42e^(sin(42x))*cos(42x).`
