Answer

$$z = \frac{1}{{6 - {{\tan }^{ - 1}}x}}$$

Work Step by Step

$$\eqalign{ & \frac{{dz}}{{dx}} = \frac{{{z^2}}}{{1 + {x^2}}} \cr & {\text{separate}} \cr & \frac{{dz}}{{{z^2}}} = \frac{{dx}}{{1 + {x^2}}} \cr & {\text{integrate both sides}} \cr & \int {\frac{{dz}}{{{z^2}}}} = \int {\frac{{dx}}{{1 + {x^2}}}} \cr & - \frac{1}{z} = {\tan ^{ - 1}}x + C \cr & {\text{the initial condition }}z\left( 0 \right) = \frac{1}{6}{\text{ implies that}} \cr & - \frac{1}{{1/6}} = {\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( 0 \right) + C \cr & C = - 6 \cr & - \frac{1}{z} = {\tan ^{ - 1}}x - 6 \cr & z = \frac{1}{{6 - {{\tan }^{ - 1}}x}} \cr} $$
