Answer

\[f'(1)=0\]

Work Step by Step

It is given that :- \[f(x)=\cos (\ln x^2)\;\;\;...(1)\] Differentiate (1) with respect to $x$ using chain rule \[f'(x)=-\sin (\ln x^2)\cdot (\ln x^2)'\] \[f'(x)=-\sin (\ln x^2)\cdot\left(\frac{1}{x^2}\right)\cdot (x^2)'\] \[\Rightarrow f'(x)=-\sin (\ln x^2)\cdot\left(\frac{1}{x^2}\right)\cdot (2x)\] \[\Rightarrow f'(x)=\frac{-2}{x}\sin (\ln x^2)\] \[\Rightarrow f'(1)=\frac{-2}{1}\sin (\ln 1^2)\] \[\Rightarrow f'(1)=\frac{-2}{1}\sin (0)\] \[\Rightarrow f'(1)=0\] Hence ,\[f'(1)=0\]
