Calculus Integral Help
-----------------------------------
Hey all, finals are here and i cant figure out how to do this problem:


Let g(x) = x²&#8747;x³  sint²

Evaluate g'(pi) to four deimal places 
where x² is at the bottom right of the &#8747; and x³ is at the top right.

My idea of that to do is:

g'(x) = sin(x³)² · (x³)' - sin(x²)² · (x²)'

then sub in:  x = pi

Which is kind of from the "Fundamental Theorom of Calculus" (FTOC) and Chain Rule, but cant find anywhere to verify this.



EDIT: Martin solved it  :)

(1/2)(x³ - cos(x³)sin(x³)) - x² + cos(x²)(sin(x²))

Wait, is that the solution for g'(x)?  I get [tex]\textstyle g'(x) = 3x^2\sin(x^6)-2x\sin(x^4)[/tex], which doesn't match.  Yeah, this is a FTC question.

I'd have to agree with Brightguy on this one.
