Find a formula for the derivative of a given function

Find a formula for the derivative of the function

    \[ f(x) = x^4 \sin x. \]


By the product rule for derivatives, and the formulas for derivatives of polynomials and the derivative of sine, we have

    \[ f'(x) = 4x^3 \sin x + x^4 \cos x. \]
