Solution and Explanation

The given relationship is,\(y=(tan^{-1}x)^2\)
Then,\(y_1=2tan^{-1}x\frac{d}{dx}(tan^{-1}x)\)
\(⇒y_1=2tan^{-1}x.\frac{1}{1+x^2}\)
\(⇒(1+x^2)y_1=2tan^{-1}x\)
Again differentiating with respect to \(x\) on both sides,we obtain
\((1+x^2)y_2+2xy_1=2(\frac{1}{1+x^2})\)
\(⇒(1+x^2)^2y_2+2x(x^2+1)y_1=2\)
Hence,proved

Second-Order Derivative

The Second-Order Derivative is the derivative of the first-order derivative of the stated (given) function. For instance, acceleration is the second-order derivative of the distance covered with regard to time and tells us the rate of change of velocity. 

As well as the first-order derivative tells us about the slope of the tangent line to the graph of the given function, the second-order derivative explains the shape of the graph and its concavity. 

The second-order derivative is shown using \(f’’(x)\text{ or }\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}\).
