Partial Derivatives & the Gradient · Superchallenge problem

Let A=(−1,0)A = (-1, 0) and B=(1,0)B = (1, 0). For a point P=(x,y)P = (x,y) with y>0y > 0, let θ(x,y)=∠APB\theta(x,y) = \angle APB be the angle at which the segment ABAB is seen from PP. Find ∣∇θ∣\lvert\nabla\theta\rvert at P=(1,2)P = (1, 2).
