Answer

$$y'=\frac{1}{\theta+1}-e^\theta$$

Work Step by Step

$$y=\ln(\theta+1)-e^{\theta}$$ Recall the following Derivative Rules: $$\frac{d}{dx}(\ln u)=\frac{1}{u}\frac{du}{dx}$$ $$\frac{d}{dx}(e^{x})=e^x$$ Therefore, we have $$y'=\Big(\ln(\theta+1)-e^{\theta}\Big)'=\frac{1}{\theta+1}(\theta+1)'-e^{\theta}$$ $$y'=\frac{1}{\theta+1}-e^\theta$$
