((-pi)/2)*sin((pi*x)/2)

Detail solution

The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
1. Let $u = \frac{\pi x}{2}$ .
2. The derivative of sine is cosine:
  
  $\frac{d}{d u} \sin{\left(u \right)} = \cos{\left(u \right)}$
3. Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by $\frac{d}{d x} \frac{\pi x}{2}$ :
  1. The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
    1. The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
      1. Apply the power rule: $x$ goes to $1$
      So, the result is: $\pi$
    So, the result is: $\frac{\pi}{2}$
  The result of the chain rule is:
  
  $\frac{\pi \cos{\left(\frac{\pi x}{2} \right)}}{2}$
So, the result is: $- \frac{\pi^{2} \cos{\left(\frac{\pi x}{2} \right)}}{4}$
Now simplify:

$- \frac{\pi^{2} \cos{\left(\frac{\pi x}{2} \right)}}{4}$

The answer is:

$- \frac{\pi^{2} \cos{\left(\frac{\pi x}{2} \right)}}{4}$
