1. Find the corresponding value of $y$ when $x = \pi$.

When x=πx = \pi,
ycos⁡π=πsin⁡2πy^{\cos \pi} = \pi^{\sin 2\pi}
y−1=π0y^{-1} = \pi^0
y−1=1y^{-1} = 1
y=1y = 1

2. Apply the natural logarithm to both sides to simplify the exponents.

ln⁡(ycos⁡x)=ln⁡(xsin⁡2x)\ln(y^{\cos x}) = \ln(x^{\sin 2x})
cos⁡xln⁡y=sin⁡2xln⁡x\cos x \ln y = \sin 2x \ln x

3. Differentiate implicitly with respect to $x$ using the product rule on both sides.

ddx(cos⁡xln⁡y)=ddx(sin⁡2xln⁡x)\frac{d}{dx}(\cos x \ln y) = \frac{d}{dx}(\sin 2x \ln x)
−sin⁡xln⁡y+cos⁡x(1y)dydx=2cos⁡2xln⁡x+sin⁡2x(1x)-\sin x \ln y + \cos x \left(\frac{1}{y}\right)\frac{dy}{dx} = 2\cos 2x \ln x + \sin 2x \left(\frac{1}{x}\right)

4. Substitute $x = \pi$ and $y = 1$ to solve for the exact value of $\frac{dy}{dx}$.

−sin⁡(π)ln⁡(1)+cos⁡(π)(11)dydx=2cos⁡(2π)ln⁡π+sin⁡(2π)(1π)-\sin(\pi) \ln(1) + \cos(\pi) \left(\frac{1}{1}\right)\frac{dy}{dx} = 2\cos(2\pi) \ln \pi + \sin(2\pi) \left(\frac{1}{\pi}\right)
−(0)(0)+(−1)(1)dydx=2(1)ln⁡π+(0)(1π)-(0)(0) + (-1)(1)\frac{dy}{dx} = 2(1)\ln \pi + (0)\left(\frac{1}{\pi}\right)
−dydx=2ln⁡π-\frac{dy}{dx} = 2\ln \pi
dydx=−2ln⁡π\frac{dy}{dx} = -2\ln \pi

Answer

−2ln⁡π-2\ln \pi
