Answer

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

Work Step by Step

$y'=\frac{d}{dx}\cosh^{-1}{\sqrt{x}}$ Using the chain rule: $y'=\frac{d\cosh^{-1}{\sqrt{x}}}{d\sqrt{x}} \times \frac{d\sqrt{x}}{dx}$ $=\frac{1}{\sqrt{(\sqrt x)^2-1}} \times \frac{1}{2\sqrt x}$ $=\frac{1}{2\sqrt x\sqrt{x-1}}$ $=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x^2-x}}$
