For the constructed output, its defining quadratic says identically. Since the preceding branch calculation proves that its law is , any variable with that law has the same pushforward distribution:
One can also verify this chi-squared transform of an inverse Gaussian variable directly. The density contributions from the inverse branches are
The final equality follows from . This confirms the transformed law independently of which reciprocal root was selected.
