I took the derivative of (sin(x^2)^2

Oh no! That's the wrong beginning, sin(x^2)^2 is (f'(x))^2 and the exercise does neither require to consider it nor to take a derivation from it!

I meant to say what did you type in what programming language that didn't work?

I took the derivative of (sin(x^2)^2 and got 4xsin(x^2)cos(x^2) then i took the derivative of that answer but it was not correct. The correct answer is 2sin(x^4) + 8x^4 cos(x^4). I'm not understanding how to get this answer.

Yes, but what did you try that didn't seem to work?
