2 Fig. 6 shows the curve \(y = \mathrm { f } ( x )\), where \(\mathrm { f } ( x ) = \frac { 1 } { 2 } \arctan x\). \begin{figure}[h]

  1. Find the range of the function \(\mathrm { f } ( x )\), giving your answer in terms of \(\pi\).
  2. Find the inverse function \(\mathrm { f } ^ { - 1 } ( x )\). Find the gradient of the curve \(y = \mathrm { f } ^ { - 1 } ( x )\) at the origin.
  3. Hence write down the gradient of \(y = \frac { 1 } { 2 } \arctan x\) at the origin.
