\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}y}(\cos(4y))
Multiply 2 and 2 to get 4.
\left(-\sin(4y^{1})\right)\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}y}(4y^{1})
If F is the composition of two differentiable functions f\left(u\right) and u=g\left(x\right), that is, if F\left(x\right)=f\left(g\left(x\right)\right), then the derivative of F is the derivative of f with respect to u times the derivative of g with respect to x, that is, \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}(F)\left(x\right)=\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}(f)\left(g\left(x\right)\right)\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}(g)\left(x\right).
\left(-\sin(4y^{1})\right)\times 4y^{1-1}
The derivative of a polynomial is the sum of the derivatives of its terms. The derivative of a constant term is 0. The derivative of ax^{n} is nax^{n-1}.
-4\sin(4y^{1})
Simplify.
-4\sin(4y)
For any term t, t^{1}=t.
