Answer

$y'=\frac{1}{2+2x^{2}}$

Work Step by Step

By the chain rule it follows: $$y'=(x-\sqrt{1+x^{2}})'(\arctan)'(x-\sqrt{1+x^{2}})$$ $$y'=(x-\sqrt{1+x^{2}})'\frac{1}{1+(x-\sqrt{1+x^{2}})^{2}}$$ $$y'=(1-\frac{2x}{2\sqrt{1+x^{2}}})\cdot \frac{1}{1+(x-\sqrt{1+x^{2}})^{2}}$$ $$y'=(1-\frac{x}{\sqrt{1+x^{2}}})\cdot \frac{1}{1+(x-\sqrt{1+x^{2}})^{2}}$$ After simplification it follows: $$y'=\frac{1}{2+2x^{2}}$$
