Substitution and chain rule

Explanation:

Let #theta =3x^2# and #p = cos theta# then

#y = sin^3(cos(3x^2))#
#y = sin^3p#

For #y'# we can use chain rule as

#(dy)/(dx) = (dy)/(dp)(dp)/(d theta)(d theta)/(dx)#

#(dy)/(dp) = 3sin^2pcosp#

#(dp)/(d theta) = -sin theta#

#(d theta)/dx = 6x#

#(dy)/(dx) = 3sin^2pcosp\times(-sin theta)\times6x#

# = -18xsin^2(cos(3x^2))cos(cos(3x^2))\times sin(3x^2)#
#=-9sin(2cos(3x^2))sin(cos(3x^2)) sin(3x^2)#
