    Is cos(2/x) diffentiated 2x^-2sin2x^-1?


    Also what is pi differentiated?

    Yes, [Latex]\frac{d}{dx}\cos(\frac{2}{x})=\frac{d}{dx}\cos(2x^{-1})=2x^{-2}\sin(2x^{-1})[/Latex]

    To answer your second question:

    [Latex]\frac{d}{dx}\pi=0[/Latex].

    Remember [Latex]\pi[/Latex] is just a constanst so the derivative is just 0.

    Yes, the cos one seems to be correct.

    PI is a constant! Treat it like 1 or 2.

    Edit: I didn't know this forum had LaTex :o
