$\frac{d}{dx} \ln ( x - \sqrt { x^2 - 1} )$

$$\frac{d}{dx} \ln ( x - \sqrt { x^2 - 1} )$$ I was trying to do the differentiation for HW. I managed to get $$\frac{ 2 \sqrt{x^2 - 1} - x}{ 2 \sqrt{x^2 - 1} \, (x - \sqrt{x^2 - 1} ) }.$$ But the answer is supposed to be $$\frac{-1}{\sqrt{x^2 -…

Derivatives Impicit

(1) Use implicit differentiation to find the derivative of : (1) xy^3/1+y = e^xy I got my final answer as dy/dx = [y^6 +xy^3 - ye^xy ( y+1)^2] / [ ( xe^xy) (y+1)^2 - 3xy^5] Anyone got another answer with correct steps?
