4. Given that \(y = \operatorname { arsinh } ( \sqrt { } x ) , x > 0\),
  1. find \(\frac { \mathrm { d } y } { \mathrm {~d} x }\), giving your answer as a simplified fraction.
  2. Hence, or otherwise, find $$\int _ { \frac { 1 } { 4 } } ^ { 4 } \frac { 1 } { \sqrt { [ x ( x + 1 ) ] } } \mathrm { d } x$$ giving your answer in the form \(\ln \left( \frac { a + b \sqrt { } 5 } { 2 } \right)\), where \(a\) and \(b\) are integers.
