Math Problem Statement

p(x) = 5 (sin x)^cot(x)

Solution

The function in the image is:

p(x)=5(sinx)cotxp(x) = 5 (\sin x)^{\cot x}

This is an example of an exponential trigonometric function. To differentiate or analyze this, it may require logarithmic differentiation or chain rule applications, depending on the task.
