Math Problem Statement
Solution
The equation in the image appears to be , which represents the inverse of a function. To find the derivative of this inverse function, we can follow these steps.
1. Differentiate
We begin by rewriting the square root in a more convenient form:
Now, differentiate with respect to :
Thus, the derivative of is:
This represents the rate of change of the inverse function with respect to .
