Answer

$$y'=-\frac{y}{1+x^2}$$

Work Step by Step

$$ye^{\tan^{-1}x}=2$$ Using implicit differentiation, we differentiate both sides of the equation with respect to $x$: $$y'e^{\tan^{-1}x}+y(e^{\tan^{-1}x})'=0$$ $$y'e^{\tan^{-1}x}+y(e^{\tan^{-1}x})(\tan^{-1}x)'=0$$ $$y'e^{\tan^{-1}x}+y(e^{\tan^{-1}x})\times\frac{1}{1+x^2}=0$$ $$y'e^{\tan^{-1}x}+\frac{ye^{\tan^{-1}x}}{1+x^2}=0$$ Next, we need to separate elements with $y'$ and those without $y'$ into 2 sides of the equation: $$y'e^{\tan^{-1}x}=-\frac{ye^{\tan^{-1}x}}{1+x^2}$$ Finally, calculate for $y'$: $$y'=-\frac{ye^{\tan^{-1}x}}{(1+x^2)e^{\tan^{-1}x}}$$ $$y'=-\frac{y}{1+x^2}$$
