  1. \(\quad y = \operatorname { arsinh } \left( \sqrt { x ^ { 2 } - 1 } \right) \quad x > 1\)
    1. Prove that \(\frac { \mathrm { d } y } { \mathrm {~d} x } = \frac { 1 } { \sqrt { x ^ { 2 } - 1 } }\)
    $$\mathrm { f } ( x ) = \frac { 1 } { 3 } \operatorname { arsinh } \left( \sqrt { x ^ { 2 } - 1 } \right) - \arctan x \quad x > 1$$
  2. Determine the exact values of \(x\) for which \(\mathrm { f } ^ { \prime } ( x ) = 0\)
