Answer

$$\frac{ \cosh x}{\sqrt{\sinh^2x-1}} $$

Work Step by Step

Given $$y=\cosh^{-1}(\sinh x)$$ Let $u=\sinh x$, then $$y=\cosh^{-1}(u)$$ and \begin{align*} \frac{dy}{dx}&=\frac{1}{\sqrt{u^2-1}} \frac{du}{dx}\\ &=\frac{1}{\sqrt{u^2-1}} \cosh x\\ &=\frac{ \cosh x}{\sqrt{\sinh^2x-1}} \end{align*}
