Answer

$f'(\theta) = -9\sin(9\theta +41)$

Work Step by Step

In order to derivate this function you have to apply the chain rule Let's make an «u» substitution to make it easier $u = 9\theta +41$ $f(u) = \cos(u)$ Derivate the function: $f'(u) = -u'\cos(u)$ Now let's find u' $u' = 9$ Then undo the substitution, simplify and get the answer: $f'(\theta) = -9\sin(9\theta +41)$
