someone find a derivative for me

It's for my online calculus homework
Ok so I need the derivative of:
It doesn't seem like it should be that hard but I can't figure it out.

well, i think the 3 would disappear, as it is a constant, so the derivative would be (1/5)cos(3πt)? probably, or definitely, wrong but ah well

I believe it would be (3*pi)/5*(cos(3*pi*t))

No problem :-). It's been about 5 years since I've seen a derivative.

To the poster above, it's difficult to show here how to do it, but you're right the 3 turns into 0. The derivative of sin = cos, that part you got right. But you also have to take the derivative of 3*pi*t, which is 3*pi. Hope that helps.

fanku, as soon as i see 'sin', i expect it to be complicated, but i understand now
