Final answer:
The trick for finding the partial derivatives of α = arctan((x+y)/(1-xy)) is to use the chain rule and quotient rule, considering each variable separately. However, without more context, the correct answer among the provided options cannot be definitively determined.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student asked for a trick to find the partial derivatives of the function α = arctan ((x+y)/(1-xy)). None of the provided information directly applies to this derivative problem, and thus, the correct answer cannot be determined with the given context. However, if one is to calculate the derivative of arctan((x+y)/(1-xy)) with respect to x and y separately, using the chain rule and quotient rule for derivatives can be helpful.
To find the partial derivative of α with respect to x, for instance, one would apply the chain rule first and then the quotient rule, while to find the partial derivative with respect to y, the same rules would be applied but focusing on the partial differentiation with respect to y.
It is important to expand the square and apply the chain and quotient rules correctly to find the derivative, and the correct answer will correspond to one of the given options depending on the details of the calculation.
