amplitude of the function y =-3 sin 3x

To differentiate y=sin(sin(x)) you need to use the chain rule. A common way to remember the chain rule is "derivative of the outside, keep the inside, derivative of the inside". First, you take the derivative of the outside. The derivative of sin is cos. Then, you keep the inside, so you keep sin(x). Then, you multiple by the derivative of the inside. Again, the derivative of sinx is cosx. In the end, you get y'=cos(sin(x))cos(x))

In this case, you'll need to apply the chain rule, first taking the derivative of the tan function, and multiplying by the derivative of 3x: y = tan(3x) ∴ dy/dx = 3sec2(3x)
