1. **State the problem:** Find the derivative of the function $y = \sin(\cot(5x))$ with respect to $x$.
2. **Recall the chain rule:** If $y = \sin(u)$ where $u = \cot(5x)$, then by the chain rule,
$$\frac{dy}{dx} = \cos(u) \cdot \frac{du}{dx}.$$
3. **Differentiate the inner function:** We need $\frac{d}{dx} \cot(5x)$. Recall that
$$\frac{d}{dx} \cot(v) = -\csc^2(v) \cdot \frac{dv}{dx}.$$
Here, $v = 5x$, so
$$\frac{dv}{dx} = 5.$$
Therefore,
$$\frac{d}{dx} \cot(5x) = -\csc^2(5x) \cdot 5 = -5 \csc^2(5x).$$
4. **Combine results:** Substitute back into the chain rule expression:
$$\frac{dy}{dx} = \cos(\cot(5x)) \cdot (-5 \csc^2(5x)) = -5 \cos(\cot(5x)) \csc^2(5x).$$
5. **Final answer:**
$$\boxed{\frac{dy}{dx} = -5 \cos(\cot(5x)) \csc^2(5x)}.$$
