# = pm (6)/(sqrt( 6 - 9x^2)) #

Explanation:

#cos y = 1 - 3x^2#

#- sin y \ y' = -6x#

# y' = (6x)/(sin y )#

# = (6x)/(sqrt(1- cos^2 y) )#

# = (6x)/(sqrt(1- (1 - 3x^2)^2) )#

# = (6x)/(sqrt(1- (1 + 9x^4- 6 x^2)) )#

# = (6x)/(sqrt( - 9x^4+ 6 x^2)) #

# = (6x)/(sqrt( 6 x^2 - 9x^4)) #

# = pm (6)/(sqrt( 6 - 9x^2)) #
