Homework Statement

I was working on a problem from Maxwell Equations. Why is the below zero?

Worked divergence calculation: the divergence of vector A equals the partial derivative with respect to x of cos(pi y - pi/2), plus the partial derivative with respect to y of sin(pi x), followed by the line = 0 (answer).
