The answer is =2/pi

Explanation:

The function is

y=f(theta)=2ln(2theta)-cos^2(theta)

We need

(lnx)'=1/x

(cosx)'=-sinx

Therefore, the derivative is

(dy)/(d theta)=f'(theta)=4*1/(2theta)-2costheta*(-sintheta)

=2/theta+2costhetasintheta

And, when theta=pi

f'(pi)=2/pi+2sin(pi)cos(pi)

=2/pi+0
