You haven't attempted much so start by trying that.

Ok I figured out the middle three but I cannot quite get the first one and last one

$$\displaystyle (cos\big(e^{x^2cos(x)}\big))^{\frac{1}{2}}$$

$$\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}(cos\big(e^{x^2cos(x)}\big))^{\frac{-1}{2}}(-sin\big(e^{x^2cos(x)}\big))(e^{x^2cos(x)}(2xcos(x)-x^2sin(x)))$$

I am not going to simplify that.

$$\displaystyle e^{2sin(8t)}$$

$$\displaystyle 8e^{2sin(8t)}2cos(8t)=16e^{2sin(8t)}cos(8t)$$

Thanks for the responses.
The second one is correct however I still cant get the first one right, I input this:

The first one is correct too. Here is the maple output.

$$\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}(cos\big(e^{x^2cos(x)}\big))^{\frac{-1}{2}}(-sin\big(e^{x^2cos(x)}\big))(e^{x^2cos(x)}(2xcos(x)-x^2sin(x)))$$

You need to have this quantity in parenthesis.
(2xcos(x)-x^2sin(x))

Thanks that did it.
