could I get a clue as I dont even know where to begin , I thought about the quotient rule but thats making another quotient rule necessary and I have a cos x within a ln , I really dont even know where to begin for me to show my own working of the problem.

I would use logarithmic differentiation. Setting $u(x)=x^2cos x$, we have
begin{align}
frac{f'(x)}{f(x)}&=frac{u'(x)}{u(x)ln u(x)}-frac12frac{-2x}{1-x^2} =frac{2xcos x-x^2sin x}{x^2cos x,ln(x^2cos x)}-frac12frac{-2x}{1-x^2}\[1ex]
&=frac{2cos x-xsin x}{xcos x,ln(x^2cos x)}+frac x{1-x^2},
end{align}

whence
$$f'(x)=frac{f'(x)}{f(x)},f(x)=frac{2cos x-xsin x}{xcos xsqrt{1-x^2}}+frac{xln(x^2cos x)}{(1-x^2)^{3/2}}.$$

I thought about the quotient rule




That's right!



There's a quotient of the functions $g(x)= ln left( x ^ { 2 } cos ( x ) right)$ and $h(x)= sqrt { 1 - x ^ { 2 } }$ so if you can find $g'(x)$ and $h'(x)$, the derivative $f'(x)$ follows as:
$$f'(x)=frac{g'(x)h(x)-g(x)h'(x)}{h(x)^2}$$
I don't know why you think you'd need another quotient rule afterwards?



For $g'(x)$ and $h'(x)$ you need to apply the chain rule and for the "inner part" $x ^ { 2 } cos ( x )$ you'll need the product rule as well: break it down step by step.

The quotient rule is a good idea. First differentiate $ln(x^2 cos (x))$ with the chain rule and the product rule.

    We have $${dover dx}ln {x^2cos x}={1over x^2cos x}cdot {(2xcos x-x^2sin x)}\{dover dx}sqrt{1-x^2}=-{xover sqrt{1-x^2}}$$therefore by defining $g(x)=ln x^2cos x$ and $h(x)=sqrt{1-x^2}$ and using $left({gover h}right)'={g'h-gh'over h^2}$ we finally obtain$$f'(x){=left({gover h}right)'=left({g'h-gh'over h^2}right)(x)\={left({1over x^2cos x}cdot {(2xcos x-x^2sin x)}right)sqrt{1-x^2}+left({xover sqrt{1-x^2}}right)ln x^2cos xover 1-x^2}\={left({2over x} {-tan x}right)sqrt{1-x^2}+left({xover sqrt{1-x^2}}right)ln x^2cos xover 1-x^2}\={left({2} {-xtan x}right)(1-x^2)+x^2ln x^2cos xover x(1-x^2)sqrt{1-x^2}}}$$ for $|x|<1$ and $xne 0$.

      That's right!



      There's a quotient of the functions $g(x)= ln left( x ^ { 2 } cos ( x ) right)$ and $h(x)= sqrt { 1 - x ^ { 2 } }$ so if you can find $g'(x)$ and $h'(x)$, the derivative $f'(x)$ follows as:

      I don't know why you think you'd need another quotient rule afterwards?



      For $g'(x)$ and $h'(x)$ you need to apply the chain rule and for the "inner part" $x ^ { 2 } cos ( x )$ you'll need the product rule as well: break it down step by step.

      I don't know why you think you'd need another quotient rule afterwards?



      For $g'(x)$ and $h'(x)$ you need to apply the chain rule and for the "inner part" $x ^ { 2 } cos ( x )$ you'll need the product rule as well: break it down step by step.

      The quotient rule is a good idea. First differentiate $ln(x^2 cos (x))$ with the chain rule and the product rule.
