Solution
\[\text{ We have, y } = \sqrt{x + \sqrt{x + \sqrt{x + . . . to \infty}}}\]
\[ \Rightarrow y = \sqrt{x + y}\]
\[\text{ Squaring both sides, we get,} \]
\[ y^2 = x + y\]
\[ \Rightarrow 2y \frac{dy}{dx} = 1 + \frac{dy}{dx}\]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{dy}{dx}\left( 2y - 1 \right) = 1\]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{2y - 1}\]
