(i)
State who is correct and justify your answer.
(ii)
Hence find the value of f(x) for x < 0.
[3 marks]
Markscheme
(i)
Nigel is correct.
A1
METHOD 1

x
is an odd function
composition of two odd functions is an odd function and sum of two odd functions is an odd function
R1
METHOD 2
f(x) = arctan(x) + arctan( x1 ) = arctan(x) arctan( x1 ) = f(x)
therefore f is an odd function.
