1) let f(x) = (x^2 - 1) and g(x) = (3x + 2)^2, then
(dy/dx)[f(x)g(x)] = f(x)g'(x) + g(x)f'(x)
f'(x) = 2x and g'(x) = 2(3x+2)
(dy/dx)[f(x)g(x)] = (x^2 - 1)*2(3x+2) + (3x+2)^2 * 2x
(dy/dx)[f(x)g(x)] = 6x^3-6x+4x^2-4 + 9x^2+12x+4
(dy/dx)[f(x)g(x)] = 6x^3 + 13x^2 +6x
2) let f(x) = cos(1/4πx)
(dy/dx)[f(x)] = -(π/4)sin(1/4πx)
