Hint: Since $$y = sqrt{x+sqrt{x+sqrt{x+cdots}}},$$ we can write $$y = sqrt{x+y},$$ i.e. $$y^2 = x+y.$$



Can you finish the problem from here?

    Since



    $$ y = sqrt{ x + y } $$, then



    $$ y^2 = x + y $$



    and using implicit differentiation with respect to x we obtain $2yy' = 1+y' $

      And to finish it off for you (based on JimmyK4542 and Jimmy Sabater's answers):



      $2yy' = 1 + y'$



      $2yy' - y' = 1$



      $(2y - 1)y' = 1$



      $boxed{y' = frac{1}{2y - 1}}$
