What is the derivative of tan inverse of #(x^2 y^5)#? Calculus Basic Differentiation Rules Implicit Differentiation 1 Answer Shwetank Mauria May 26, 2016 #d/dx(tan^(-1)(x^2y^5))=1/(1+x^4y^10)[2xy^5+5x^2y^4(dy)/(dx)]# Explanation: We have to find derivative of #tan^(-1)(x^2y^5)#. For this we use the concept of chain rule for implicit differentiation as well as product rule.. Hence #d/dx(tan^(-1)(x^2y^5))# = #1/(1+(x^2y^5)^2)[2x xxy^5+x^2xx5y^4xx(dy)/(dx)]# = #1/(1+x^4y^10)[2xy^5+5x^2y^4(dy)/(dx)]# Answer link Related questions What is implicit differentiation?
