Answer

${\frac{dy}{dx}}={\frac{1}{1+x^2}}$ where (${\tan{y}=x}$)

Work Step by Step

given that $\tan{y}= {x}$ ${\frac{d\tan{y}}{dx}}={\frac{dx}{dx}}$ (on differentiating with respect to x) and applying the chain rule: ${\frac{d\tan{y}}{dy}}\times{\frac{dy}{dx}}=1$ ${\sec^2{y}}{\frac{dy}{dx}}=1$ $({{1+{\tan^2{y}}}}){\frac{dy}{dx}}=1$ (${ 1+{\tan^2{y}}}={\sec^2{y}}$) $(1+x^2){\frac{dy}{dx}}=1$ ${\frac{dy}{dx}}={\frac{1}{1+x^2}}$
