Answer

$$ y'= 3\cosh^2x \sinh x \cosh( \cosh^3 x) .$$

Work Step by Step

Recall that $(\sinh x)'=\cosh x$ Recall that $(\cosh x)'=\sinh x$ Since $ y=\sinh (\cosh^3 x)$, then the derivative, by using the chain rule, is given by $$ y'=\cosh( \cosh^3 x) ( \cosh^3 x)'=3\cosh^2x \sinh x \cosh( \cosh^3 x) .$$
