Question
**Problem Statement:**

Find the derivative of \( y = \cosh^{-1}(8x) \) where \( x > \frac{1}{8}. \)

**Solution:**

To find the derivative of \( y \) with respect to \( x \), we start with the formula for the derivative of the inverse hyperbolic cosine function: 

\[
\frac{d}{dx} \cosh^{-1}(u) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{u^2 - 1}}
\]

where \( u = 8x \) in this case. 

First, apply the chain rule:

1. Let \( u = 8x \), then \( \frac{du}{dx} = 8 \).
2. Plug \( u = 8x \) into the derivative formula:

\[
\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{(8x)^2 - 1}} \cdot \frac{du}{dx}
\]

3. Simplify:

\[
\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{8}{\sqrt{64x^2 - 1}}
\]

So, the derivative \( y' = \frac{8}{\sqrt{64x^2 - 1}} \).
