$$\cos{\left(3 x + \frac{\pi}{4} \right)}$$

cos(3*x + pi/4)

Detail solution

Let $u = 3 x + \frac{\pi}{4}$ .
The derivative of cosine is negative sine:

$\frac{d}{d u} \cos{\left(u \right)} = - \sin{\left(u \right)}$
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by $\frac{d}{d x} \left(3 x + \frac{\pi}{4}\right)$ :
1. Differentiate $3 x + \frac{\pi}{4}$ term by term:
  1. The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
    1. Apply the power rule: $x$ goes to $1$
    So, the result is: $3$
  2. The derivative of the constant $\frac{\pi}{4}$ is zero.
  The result is: $3$
The result of the chain rule is:

$- 3 \sin{\left(3 x + \frac{\pi}{4} \right)}$
Now simplify:

$- 3 \sin{\left(3 x + \frac{\pi}{4} \right)}$

The answer is:

$- 3 \sin{\left(3 x + \frac{\pi}{4} \right)}$
