$$\frac{y^{2}}{4} - \frac{\log{\left(y \right)}}{2}$$

y^2/4 - log(y)/2

Detail solution

Differentiate $\frac{y^{2}}{4} - \frac{\log{\left(y \right)}}{2}$ term by term:
1. The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
  1. Apply the power rule: $y^{2}$ goes to $2 y$
  So, the result is: $\frac{y}{2}$
2. The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
  1. The derivative of $\log{\left(y \right)}$ is $\frac{1}{y}$ .
  So, the result is: $- \frac{1}{2 y}$
The result is: $\frac{y}{2} - \frac{1}{2 y}$
Now simplify:

$\frac{y^{2} - 1}{2 y}$

The answer is:

$\frac{y^{2} - 1}{2 y}$
