• A) \(p ^ { \prime } ( x ) = \pi \cos \left( \frac { \pi } { 2 } ( x - 1 ) \right)\)
• B) \(p ^ { \prime } ( x ) = 2 \cos \left( \frac { \pi } { 2 } ( x - 1 ) \right)\)
• C) \(p ^ { \prime } ( x ) = \pi \cos \left( \frac { \pi } { 2 } ( x + 1 ) \right)\)
• D) \(p ^ { \prime } ( x ) = \pi \sin \left( \frac { \pi } { 2 } ( x - 1 ) \right)\)
• E) \(p ^ { \prime } ( x ) = 3 + \pi \cos \left( \frac { \pi } { 2 } ( x - 1 ) \right)\)
