Answer

$$\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{3}{2}e^{3\sin(t/2)}\cos(t/2)$$

Work Step by Step

$$\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{d}{dt}\Big(e^{\sin(t/2)}\Big)^3$$ According to the Chain Rule: $$\frac{dy}{dt}=3\Big(e^{\sin(t/2)}\Big)^2\frac{d}{dt}\Big(e^{\sin(t/2)}\Big)'$$ $$\frac{dy}{dt}=3e^{2\sin(t/2)}e^{\sin(t/2)}\frac{d}{dt}(\sin(t/2))$$ $$\frac{dy}{dt}=3e^{3\sin(t/2)}\cos(t/2)\frac{d}{dt}(t/2)$$ $$\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{3}{2}e^{3\sin(t/2)}\cos(t/2)$$
