Given x2y2−tan⁡−1x2+y2=cot⁡−1x2+y2x^2y^2-\tan^{-1}\sqrt{x^2+y^2}=\cot^{-1}\sqrt{x^2+y^2}.

Step 1 — simplify before differentiating. Move both inverse-trig terms to one side:

x2y2=cot⁡−1x2+y2+tan⁡−1x2+y2x^2y^2=\cot^{-1}\sqrt{x^2+y^2}+\tan^{-1}\sqrt{x^2+y^2}

Using the identity tan⁡−1u+cot⁡−1u=π2\tan^{-1}u+\cot^{-1}u=\dfrac{\pi}{2} for any uu, the right side is identically π2\dfrac{\pi}{2} — a constant, regardless of x,yx,y:

x2y2=π2x^2y^2=\frac{\pi}{2} …
