If y is a function of u, which itself is a function of x, then
dy/dx=(dy/du) x (du/dx)
Differentiate the outer function and multiply by the derivative of the inner function.
...
let y=2x {take natural logs of both sides}
cos2x= 2cos^2x - 1
2cos^2x - 1 - 5cosx = 2
Let cosx = y
2y^2 - 5y - 3 = 0
(2y + 1)(y + 3) = 0
y = -1/2 or -3
cosx = -1/2 or -3
x = 120 degrees
