A particle moves along the x-axis with position function s(t) = e^(cos(x)). How many times in the interval [0, 2π] is the velocity equal to 0?

I think you must mean
s(t) = e^(cos(t))
velocity is zero when
v(t) = ds/dt = e^cos(t) (-sin(t)) = 0
sin(t)=0 when t is a multiple of pi.
So, it looks like you are in error.
