y=(sin(x^2))/(x^3)

Apply the quotient rule:


(\mathrm dy)/(\mathrm dx)=(x^3(\mathrm d\sin(x^2))/(\mathrm dx)-\sin(x^2)(\mathrm dx^3)/(\mathrm dx))/((x^3)^2)

Chain and power rules:


(\mathrm d\sin(x^2))/(\mathrm dx)=\cos(x^2)(\mathrm dx^2)/(\mathrm dx)=2x\cos(x^2)

Power rule:


(\mathrm dx^3)/(\mathrm dx)=3x^2

Putting everything together, we have


(\mathrm dy)/(\mathrm dx)=(x^3(2x\cos(x^2))-\sin(x^2)(2x\cos(x^2)))/((x^3)^2)


(\mathrm dy)/(\mathrm dx)=(2x^3\cos(x^2)-2x\sin(x^2)\cos(x^2))/(x^6)


(\mathrm dy)/(\mathrm dx)=(2x^2\cos(x^2)-\sin(2x^2))/(x^5)

When
x=√(\frac\pi2), we have


\cos\left(\left(√(\frac\pi2)\right)^2\right)=\cos\left(\frac\pi2\right)=0


\sin\left(2\left(√(\frac\pi2)\right)^2\right)=\sin(\pi)=0

so the derivative is 0.
