Answer

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

Work Step by Step

$$y^2=\sqrt{\frac{1+x}{1-x}}$$ $$y^2=\Big(\frac{1+x}{1-x}\Big)^{1/2}$$ Using implicit differentiation, we differentiate both sides of the equation with respect to $x$: $$2y\times y'=\frac{1}{2}\Big(\frac{1+x}{1-x}\Big)^{-1/2}\times\Big(\frac{1+x}{1-x}\Big)'$$ $$2yy'=\frac{1}{2}\Big(\frac{1-x}{1+x}\Big)^{1/2}\times\frac{(1+x)'(1-x)-(1+x)(1-x)'}{(1-x)^2}$$ $$2yy'=\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{\frac{1-x}{1+x}}\times\frac{1\times(1-x)-(1+x)\times(-1)}{(1-x)^2}$$ $$2yy'=\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{\frac{1-x}{1+x}}\times\frac{(1-x)+(1+x)}{(1-x)^2}$$ $$2yy'=\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{\frac{1-x}{1+x}}\times\frac{2}{(1-x)^2}$$ $$2yy'=\frac{2}{2(1-x)^2}\sqrt{\frac{1-x}{1+x}}$$ $$2yy'=\frac{1}{(1-x)^2}\sqrt{\frac{1-x}{1+x}}$$ Finally, we calculate $y'$: $$y'=\frac{1}{2y(1-x)^2}\sqrt{\frac{1-x}{1+x}}$$
