            2. Apply the quotient rule, which is:

               $$\frac{d}{d x} \frac{f{\left(x \right)}}{g{\left(x \right)}} = \frac{- f{\left(x \right)} \frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)} + g{\left(x \right)} \frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}}{g^{2}{\left(x \right)}}$$

               $f{\left(x \right)} = \sin{\left(4 x \right)}$ and $g{\left(x \right)} = \cos{\left(4 x \right)}$.

               The result of the chain rule is:

               $$4 \cos{\left(4 x \right)}$$

            Now plug in to the quotient rule:

            $\frac{- 4 \sin^{2}{\left(4 x \right)} - 4 \cos^{2}{\left(4 x \right)}}{\sin^{2}{\left(4 x \right)}}$

      So, the result is: $- \frac{3 \left(4 \sin^{2}{\left(4 x \right)} + 4 \cos^{2}{\left(4 x \right)}\right)}{\cos^{2}{\left(4 x \right)} \tan^{2}{\left(4 x \right)}}$
