Not a good question, very ambiguous. U must say which variable you are differentiating with respect to.

If pi = pi(x) was a legitimate function (for example, it’s used all the time in projections onto convex sets), then the derivative with respect to x would be 2pi(x)pi’(x). Or if pi itself was a variable, d/dpi pi^2 = 2pi

The derivative is the change in f(x) over a given x. There is no x in this equation there is no change, the result of f(x) = π² is always π². So the derivative is C) 0.

Damn this brought back my ptsd from maths in my engineering college

[Samuel-zsgw]

π² is a constant, const = no change= 0 rate of change
For people wondering about "with respect to.." remember that it doesn't matter as you can't derive with respect to a constant(π) anyway

[kuenzangdechen]

derivative 'with respect to' should be mentioned ig

Haven’t looked at calc in 10yrs and immediately understood Pi was not a variable and this there is no “area” to be derived.

Idk. I’m not that smart so this seems a bit too easy.
