Answer

$R_p=\frac{q^2}{p^2q^4+1}$, $R_q=\frac{2pq}{p^2q^4+1}$.

Work Step by Step

$R(p,q)=\arctan{(pq^2)}$ In order to find $R_p$ we treat $q$ as a constant and differentiate with respect to $p$. $R_p=\frac{q^2}{p^2q^4+1}$ In order to find $R_q$ we treat $p$ as a constant and differentiate with respect to $q$. $R_q=\frac{2pq}{p^2q^4+1}$
