d     1  arctanx =  .

dx                     1 + x²

(b) Consider the function

f(x) = 2 arctanx − x.

Find its domain, horizontal and vertical asymptotes, local minima, local maxima, and inflection points of f. Identify the regions where the graph of f is concave upward or concave downward. Finally, sketch the graph of the function.
