$dy/dt=-pisint+(2pi)/t^3$

First multiply out and use laws of exponents to write the function in a better form as follows :

$y=picost-pit^(-2)$

Now use normal rules of differentiation to find the derivative :

$therefore dy/dt=-pisint+2pit^(-3)$

How do you find the derivative of (pi)(cos t - 1/t^2)(pi)(cos t - 1/t^2)?
