Answer

$$\frac{dy}{dt}=-t\sin t^2(1+\cos(t^2))^{-1/2}$$

Work Step by Step

$$\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{d}{dt}\sqrt{1+\cos(t^2)}=\frac{d}{dt}(1+\cos(t^2))^{1/2}$$ Following the Chain Rule: $$\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{1}{2}(1+\cos(t^2))^{-1/2}\frac{d}{dt}(1+\cos(t^2))$$ $$\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{1}{2}(1+\cos(t^2))^{-1/2}(0-\sin t^2\frac{d}{dt}(t^2))$$ $$\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{1}{2}(1+\cos(t^2))^{-1/2}(-2t\sin t^2)$$ $$\frac{dy}{dt}=-t\sin t^2(1+\cos(t^2))^{-1/2}$$
