Given tan⁡−13x2−4y23x2+4y2=a2\tan^{-1}\dfrac{3x^2-4y^2}{3x^2+4y^2}=a^2.

Step 1 — the argument of tan⁡−1\tan^{-1} is constant:

3x2−4y23x2+4y2=k(k=tan⁡(a2), constant)\frac{3x^2-4y^2}{3x^2+4y^2}=k \quad (k=\tan(a^2),\text{ constant})

Step 2 — cross-multiply:

3x2−4y2=k(3x2+4y2)3x^2-4y^2=k(3x^2+4y^2)

Step 3 — differentiate implicitly:

6x−8ydydx=k(6x+8ydydx)6x-8y\frac{dy}{dx}=k\left(6x+8y\frac{dy}{dx}\right)

Step 4 — collect dy/dxdy/dx terms:

−8ydydx−8kydydx=6kx−6x-8y\frac{dy}{dx}-8ky\frac{dy}{dx}=6kx-6x

−8y(1+k)dydx=6x(k−1)-8y(1+k)\frac{dy}{dx}=6x(k-1)

dydx=3x(1−k)4y(1+k)\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{3x(1-k)}{4y(1+k)} …
