Answer

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

Work Step by Step

$$\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{d}{dt}e^{\cos^2(\pi t-1)}$$ According to the Chain Rule: $$\frac{dy}{dt}=e^{\cos^2(\pi t-1)}\frac{d}{dt}\Big(\cos^2(\pi t-1)\Big)'$$ $$\frac{dy}{dt}=e^{\cos^2(\pi t-1)}2\cos(\pi t-1)\frac{d}{dt}(\cos(\pi t-1))$$ $$\frac{dy}{dt}=e^{\cos^2(\pi t-1)}2\cos(\pi t-1)(-\sin(\pi t-1))\frac{d}{dt}(\pi t-1)$$ $$\frac{dy}{dt}=-e^{\cos^2(\pi t-1)}2\cos(\pi t-1)\sin(\pi t-1)(\pi-0)$$ $$\frac{dy}{dt}=-\pi e^{\cos^2(\pi t-1)}2\cos(\pi t-1)\sin(\pi t-1)$$ Recall the identity $2\cos\alpha\sin\alpha=\sin2\alpha$: $$\frac{dy}{dt}=-\pi e^{\cos^2(\pi t-1)}\sin(2\pi t-2)$$
