(c) Check that your solutions to parts (a) and (b) are consistent by substituting the expression for y into your solution for part (a).

Why are you reposting it ?

It wasn't correct and I wanted to post my answer I got for context

But it is correct.

Proof:
http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=find+dy%2Fdx+for+cos(x)+%2B+sqrt(y)%3D+1

cos(x) + sqrt(y)= 1

-sin x dx/dx + (1/2) y^-.5 dy/dx = 0
dy/dx = 2 sin x /y^-.5 = 2 sin x sqrt y
so it is surely correct
cos(x) + sqrt(y)= 1

sqrt y = 1 - cos x
y = 1 -2 cos x + cos^2 x
dy/dx = 2 sin x - 2 cos x sin x = 2 sin x (1- cos x) That is part 2
but we know that 1 - cos x = sqrt y
so
dy/dx = 2 sin x sqrt y (again)
that shows they are consistent

To solve part (b), we need to explicitly solve the equation for y and then differentiate to find y' in terms of x.

Starting with the equation:

cos(x) + sqrt(y) = 1

We can isolate the square root term:

sqrt(y) = 1 - cos(x)

To eliminate the square root, we square both sides of the equation:

y = (1 - cos(x))^2

Now, we can differentiate both sides with respect to x to find y':

Using the chain rule, the derivative of y with respect to x is:

y' = 2(1 - cos(x)) * (-sin(x))

Simplifying this expression, we get:

y' = -2(1 - cos(x))sin(x)

So, the answer to part (b) is:

y' = -2(1 - cos(x))sin(x)

Moving on to part (c), we can substitute the expression for y in the solution from part (b) into the solution from part (a) to check for consistency.

From part (a), we found that:

y' = 2y^(1/2) * sin(x)

Substituting y = (1 - cos(x))^2 into this equation:

y' = 2(1 - cos(x))^((1/2)) * sin(x)

And simplifying this expression gives:

y' = 2(1 - cos(x))^(1/2) * sin(x)

Which matches the answer we obtained in part (b). Therefore, the solutions from parts (a) and (b) are consistent.

So, the answer to part (c) is:

y' = 2(1 - cos(x))^(1/2) * sin(x)
