$\frac{d}{dx}\left(sin\left(x\right)^{ln\left(x\right)}\right)$
2
To derive the function $\sin\left(x\right)^{\ln\left(x\right)}$, use the method of logarithmic differentiation. First, assign the function to $y$, then take the natural logarithm of both sides of the equation
$y=\sin\left(x\right)^{\ln\left(x\right)}$
3
Apply natural logarithm to both sides of the equality
$\ln\left(y\right)=\ln\left(\sin\left(x\right)^{\ln\left(x\right)}\right)$
4
Using the power rule of logarithms: $\log_a(x^n)=n\cdot\log_a(x)$
$\ln\left(y\right)=\ln\left(x\right)\ln\left(\sin\left(x\right)\right)$
5
Derive both sides of the equality with respect to $x$
$\frac{d}{dx}\left(\ln\left(y\right)\right)=\frac{d}{dx}\left(\ln\left(x\right)\ln\left(\sin\left(x\right)\right)\right)$
6
Apply the product rule for differentiation: $(f\cdot g)'=f'\cdot g+f\cdot g'$, where $f=
$\frac{d}{dx}\left(\ln\left(y\right)\right)=\frac{d}{dx}\left(\ln\left(x\right)\right)\ln\left(\sin\left(x\right)\right)+\ln\left(x\right)\frac{d}{dx}\left(\ln\left(\sin\left(x\right)\right)\right)$
