Answer

$\dfrac{\ln 2}{ \sqrt{1+(0.25)^\theta}}$

Work Step by Step

Given: $y=csch^{-1} (\dfrac{1}{2})^{\theta}$ It can be re-written such as: $y=csch^{-1} (0.5)^{\theta}$ and $\dfrac{d m^x}{dx}=m^x \ln m$ Since, $\dfrac{d (csch^{-1} x)}{dx}=\dfrac{-1}{|x| \sqrt{1 + x^2}}$ Apply product rule to get the differentiation. Thus, $\dfrac{dy}{d \theta}=\dfrac{-1}{|(0.5)^{\theta}| \sqrt{1 + ((0.5)^{\theta})^2}}(0.5)^{\theta} \ln (0.5)$ or, $\dfrac{dy}{d \theta}=\dfrac{\ln 2}{ \sqrt{1+(0.25)^\theta}}$
