**Find the derivative of the function.**

\[ y = \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{x}{a} \right) + \ln \left( \sqrt{\frac{x+a}{x-a}} \right) \]

\[ y' = \text{______} \]

**Explanation**: The task requires finding the derivative \( y' \) of the given function \( y \). The function is a combination of an inverse tangent function and a natural logarithm of a square root expression. To differentiate this function, apply the chain rule, the derivative rules for inverse trigonometric functions, and the derivative rules for logarithms.
