Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation
y = cos 3x

Let u = 3x so that y = cos u

Now, \(\frac{\delta y}{\delta x} = 3\),

\(\frac{\delta y}{\delta x} = -sin u\)

By the chain rule,

\(\frac{\delta y}{\delta x} = \frac{\delta y}{\delta u} \times \frac{\delta u}{\delta x}\)

\(\frac{\delta y}{\delta x} = (-\sin u) (3)\)

\(\frac{\delta y}{\delta x} = -3 \sin u\)

\(\frac{\delta y}{\delta x} = -3 \sin 3x\)

There is an explanation video available below.
