Given function is
y = (\tan^{-1} x)^2
Now, differentiation w.r.t. x
y_1=\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{d((\tan^{-1}x)^2)}{dx}= 2.\tan^{-1}x.\frac{1}{1+x^2}= \frac{2\tan^{-1}x}{1+x^2}                 -(i)
Now, the second-order derivative is 
By using the quotient rule
y_2=\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}=\frac{d^2(\frac{2\tan^{-1}x}{1+x^2})}{dx^2}=\frac{2.\frac{1}{1+x^2}.(1+x^2)-2\tan^{-1}x(2x)}{(1+x^2)^2}=\frac{2-4x\tan^{-1}x}{(1+x^2)^2}        -(ii)
Now, we need to show
(x^2 + 1)^2 y_2 + 2x (x^2 + 1) y_1 = 2
Put the value from equation (i) and (ii)
 (x^2+1)^2.\frac{2-4x\tan^{-1}x}{(1+x^2)^2}+2x(x^2+1).\frac{2\tan^{-1}x}{x^2+1}\\ \Rightarrow 2-4x\tan^{-1}x+4x\tan^{-1}x = 2
Hence, L.H.S. = R.H.S.
Hence proved
