1. There are multiple ways to do this derivative.

   Method #1

   1. Rewrite the function to be differentiated:

      $$\cot{\left(5 x + 5 \right)} = \frac{1}{\tan{\left(5 x + 5 \right)}}$$

   2. Let $u = \tan{\left(5 x + 5 \right)}$.

   3. Apply the power rule: $\frac{1}{u}$ goes to $- \frac{1}{u^{2}}$
