Answer

\[ \frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{2x}{1+x^4}\]

Work Step by Step

\[y=\tan ^{-1} (x^2)\] \[\Rightarrow \tan y=x^2\;\;\;...(1)\] Differentiate (1) implicitly with respect to $x$ \[\sec ^2 y\frac{dy}{dx}=2x\] \[\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{2x}{\sec^2 y}\] \[\Rightarrow \frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{2x}{1+\tan ^2 y}\] Using (1) \[\Rightarrow \frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{2x}{1+x^4}\] Hence \[ \frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{2x}{1+x^4}\]
