Differentiation Question 215

Question: If $ y=\cos (\sin x^{2}), $ then at $ x=\sqrt{\frac{\pi }{2}},\frac{dy}{dx} $ =

Options:

A) - 2

B) 2

C) $ -2\sqrt{\frac{\pi }{2}} $

D) 0

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

Since $ \frac{dy}{dx}=-\sin (\sin x^{2}).\cos x^{2}.2x $

Therefore, at $ x=\sqrt{\frac{\pi }{2}}, $

$ \cos x^{2}=\cos \frac{\pi }{2}=0 $

Therefore $ \frac{dy}{dx}=0 $ .
