Answer

$$y = - \frac{{2\pi }}{{\pi + 8}}x - \frac{{{\pi ^2}}}{{2\pi + 16}} + 1$$

Work Step by Step

$$\eqalign{ & {x^2} + x\arctan y = y - 1 \cr & {\text{Using implicit differentiation}} \cr & \frac{d}{{dx}}\left[ {{x^2} + x\arctan y} \right] = \frac{d}{{dx}}\left[ {y - 1} \right] \cr & 2x + x\left( {\frac{1}{{1 + {y^2}}}} \right)y' + \arctan y = y' \cr & {\text{Solve for }}y' \cr & x\left( {\frac{1}{{1 + {y^2}}}} \right)y' - y' = - \arctan y - 2x \cr & y'\left( {\frac{x}{{1 + {y^2}}} - 1} \right) = - \arctan y + 2x \cr & y' = - \frac{{\arctan y + 2x}}{{\frac{x}{{1 + {y^2}}} - 1}} \cr & {\text{Calculate }}y'{\text{ at the given point }}\left( { - \frac{\pi }{4},1} \right) \cr & y' = \frac{{\arctan \left( 1 \right) + 2\left( { - \pi /4} \right)}}{{\frac{{ - \pi /4}}{{1 + {{\left( 1 \right)}^2}}} - 1}} \cr & y' = - \frac{{2\pi }}{{\pi + 8}} \cr & {\text{The slope at the given point is }}m = - \frac{{2\pi }}{{\pi + 8}} \cr & {\text{The equation of the tangent line at }}\left( { - \frac{\pi }{4},1} \right){\text{ is}} \cr & y - {y_1} = m\left( {x - {x_1}} \right) \cr & y - 1 = - \frac{{2\pi }}{{\pi + 8}}\left( {x + \frac{\pi }{4}} \right) \cr & y = - \frac{{2\pi }}{{\pi + 8}}x - \frac{{{\pi ^2}}}{{2\pi + 16}} + 1 \cr} $$
