Answer

$\dfrac{1+x^4y^2+y^2+x^4y^4-2xy}{x^2-2xy-2x^5y^3}$

Work Step by Step

Recall Equation 6: $\dfrac{dy}{dx}=-\dfrac{F_x}{F_y}$ ...(1) Given: $ \tan^{-1} (x^2y)=x+xy^2$ This gives: $\tan^{-1} (x^2y)-x-xy^2=0$ Consider $F(x,y)=\tan^{-1} (x^2y)-x-xy^2=0$ $F_x=\dfrac{(2xy)}{1+(x^2y)^2} -1-y^2\\F_y=\dfrac{x^2}{1+(x^2y)^2} -2xy$ This implies that $\dfrac{dy}{dx}=-\dfrac{\dfrac{(2xy)}{1+(x^2y)^2} -1-y^2}{\dfrac{x^2}{1+(x^2y)^2} -2xy}$ This implies that $=\dfrac{(1+y^2)(1+x^4y^2)-2xy}{x^2-2xy(1+x^4y^2)}$ or, $=\dfrac{1+x^4y^2+y^2+x^4y^4-2xy}{x^2-2xy-2x^5y^3}$
