Consider the following. \[ \cos (x)+\sqrt{y}=1 \] (a) Find \( y^{\prime} \) by implicit differentiation. \[ y^{\prime}= \] \( \square \) (b) Solve the equation explicitly for \( y \) and differentiate to get \( y^{\prime} \) in terms of \( x \). \[ y^{\prime}=\square \] (c) Check that your solutions to parts (a) and (b) are consistent by substituting the expression for \( y \) into your solution for part (a). \[ y^{\prime}=\square \]

Step 1
The derivative of \( \cos(x) \) with respect to \( x \) is \( -\sin(x) \), and the derivative of \( \sqrt{y} \) with respect to \( x \) is \( \frac{1}{2\sqrt{y}} \cdot y' \) by the chain rule. The derivative of the constant \( 1 \) is \( 0 \). So we have: \[ Show more…
