#f'(x)=-3sin(3x)#

Explanation:

Here are some things to remember:
If #f(x)=cos(x)#, then #f'(x)=-sin(x)#
And also the chain rule: If #f(x)=g(h(x))#, then #f'(x)=g'(h(x))*h'(x)#

Let's say that #g(x)=cos(3x)# and #h(x)=3x#
We need to find the derivative of both #g(x)# and #h(x)#
#g'(x)=-sin(3x)# and #h'(x)=3#

We multiply these two to get: #f'(x)=-3sin(3x)# This is the answer!
