Differentiate y+x+y−x=c\sqrt{y+x}+\sqrt{y-x}=c implicitly w.r.t. xx:

1+y′2y+x+y′−12y−x=0.\frac{1+y'}{2\sqrt{y+x}}+\frac{y'-1}{2\sqrt{y-x}}=0.

Multiply by 2y+xy−x2\sqrt{y+x}\sqrt{y-x} and collect:

(1+y′)y−x+(y′−1)y+x=0 ⇒ y′(y−x+y+x)=y+x−y−x.(1+y')\sqrt{y-x}+(y'-1)\sqrt{y+x}=0\ \Rightarrow\ y'\big(\sqrt{y-x}+\sqrt{y+x}\big)=\sqrt{y+x}-\sqrt{y-x}.

y′=y+x−y−xy+x+y−x.y'=\frac{\sqrt{y+x}-\sqrt{y-x}}{\sqrt{y+x}+\sqrt{y-x}}.

Rationalize by multiplying numerator and denominator by (y+x−y−x)\big(\sqrt{y+x}-\sqrt{y-x}\big):

Numerator=(y+x−y−x)2=(y+x)+(y−x)−2y2−x2=2y−2y2−x2,\text{Numerator}=\big(\sqrt{y+x}-\sqrt{y-x}\big)^2=(y+x)+(y-x)-2\sqrt{y^2-x^2}=2y-2\sqrt{y^2-x^2}, …
