Answer

$y'=2(-1-\dfrac{csc\theta}{2}-\dfrac{\theta^2}{4})(\dfrac{csc\theta \cot \theta}{2}- \dfrac{\theta}{2})$

Work Step by Step

Given that $y=(-1-\dfrac{csc\theta}{2}-\dfrac{\theta^2}{4})^2$ Apply derivative rules of differentiation: $f(x)=p'(x)q(x)+p(x)q'(x)$ $y'=\frac{d}{dx}[(-1-\dfrac{csc\theta}{2}-\dfrac{\theta^2}{4})^2]$ $=2(-1-\dfrac{csc\theta}{2}-\dfrac{\theta^2}{4})(-1-\dfrac{csc\theta}{2}-\dfrac{\theta^2}{4})'$ Hence, $y'=2(-1-\dfrac{csc\theta}{2}-\dfrac{\theta^2}{4})(\dfrac{csc\theta \cot \theta}{2}- \dfrac{\theta}{2})$
