Answer

$$\frac{dy}{dt}=\pi\sin(2\pi t-4)$$

Work Step by Step

According to the Chain Rule: $$\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{d}{dt}\sin^2(\pi t-2)=2\sin(\pi t-2)\frac{d}{dt}\sin(\pi t-2)$$ $$\frac{dy}{dt}=2\sin(\pi t-2)\cos(\pi t-2)\frac{d}{dt}(\pi t-2)$$ $$\frac{dy}{dt}=2\sin(\pi t-2)\cos(\pi t-2)(\pi\times1-0)$$ $$\frac{dy}{dt}=2\pi\sin(\pi t-2)\cos(\pi t-2)$$ Recall the identity $2\sin A\cos A=\sin2A$: $$\frac{dy}{dt}=\pi\sin(2\pi t-4)$$
