If y =etan–1x, Prove that: (1+x2)y2+(2x–1)y1=0


Note: y2 represents second order derivative i.e. and y1 = dy/dx


Given,


y = etan–1x ……equation 1


to prove : (1+x2)y2+(2x–1)y1=0


We notice a second order derivative in the expression to be proved so first take the step to find the second order derivative.


Let’s find


As,


So, lets first find dy/dx



Using chain rule we will differentiate the above expression


Let t = tan–1 x => []


And y = et



…….equation 2


Again differentiating with respect to x applying product rule:



Using chain rule we will differentiate the above expression-


[using & ]




Using equation 2 :



(1+x2)y2+(2x–1)y1=0 ……proved
