whats the nth derivative of cos3x

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

Well we know this as the chain rule \[\large f(x) = cos(3x)\] \[\large f'(x) = -3sin(3x)\] \[\large f''(x) = -9cos(3x)\] \[\large f'''(x) = 27sin(3x)\] \[\large f^{4}(x) = 81cos(3x)\] And it repeats from there cycling through sin and cos...so what can we assume about the rule?
