Answer

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

Work Step by Step

Given: $y=\cosh^{-1}{\sqrt{x}}$ Now, $y'=\dfrac{d}{dx}\cosh^{-1}{\sqrt{x}}$ Apply chain rule, we have $y'=\dfrac{d\cosh^{-1}{\sqrt{x}}}{d\sqrt{x}} ( \dfrac{d\sqrt{x}}{dx})$ or, $y'=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{(\sqrt x)^2-1}}(\dfrac{1}{2\sqrt x})$ or, $y'=\dfrac{1}{2\sqrt x\sqrt{x-1}}$ Thus, $y'=\dfrac{1}{2\sqrt{x^2-x}}$
