Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Let \(y = \sin(x^2)\).

  2. Differentiate \(y\) with respect to \(x\) using the chain rule:

    \(\frac{dy}{dx} = \cos(x^2) \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(x^2) = \cos(x^2) \cdot 2x = 2x \cos(x^2)\)

  3. Substitute \(x = \sqrt{\pi}\) into the derivative:

    \(\frac{dy}{dx}\Big|_{x=\sqrt{\pi}} = 2\sqrt{\pi} \cos((\sqrt{\pi})^2) = 2\sqrt{\pi} \cos(\pi)\)

  4. Since \(\cos(\pi) = -1\), we have:

    \(\frac{dy}{dx}\Big|_{x=\sqrt{\pi}} = 2\sqrt{\pi} \cdot (-1) = -2\sqrt{\pi}\)

Correct Answer: -2√π
