How do I solve this? I tried using the quotient and the chain rule but I can't seem to get the correct answer.

You can set $;f(y)=dfrac(y^2-1)^2y^2+1$ and use logarithmic differentiation:
beginalign
fracf'(y)f(y)&=2,frac(y^2-1)'y^2-1-frac(y^2+1)'y2+1=2,frac2yy^2-1-frac2yy^2+1=2ybiggl(frac2y^2-1-frac1y^2+1biggr)=frac2y(y^2+5)(y^2-1)(y^2+1)
endalign
whence
$$ f'(y)=fracf'(y)f(y),f(y)=frac2y(y^2+5)(y^2-1)(y^2+1)^2. $$

HINT:
You can simplify the chain rule using $$(y^2-1)^2=(y^2+1)-2^2=?$$
Won't some of the remaining terms still need chain rule? (although simpler)

Let:
$$p=(y^2-1)^2to p'=2(2y)(y^2-1)=4y(y^2-1) text [chain rule]$$
$$q=y^2+1 to q'=2y text [implicit]$$
Then the quotient rule:
$$bigg(frac pqbigg)'=fracp'q-q'pq^2$$
See if you can take this forward
I can't simplify it, I get confused on what to do next when I substitute the value of p, q, p' and q' in the quotient rule

Plugging in the values we get: $$bigg(frac(y^2-1)^2y^2+1bigg)'=frac4y(y^2-1)(y^2+1)-2y(y^2-1)^2(y^2+1)^2$$ You can then take out common factors for $$frac2y(y^2-1)[2(y^2+1)-(y^2-1)](y^2+1)^2$$ Go from there.
