Exercise 4.7.8 (Tangent function is monotone, differentiable and invertible)

Let tan : (π2,π2) R be the tangent function tan (x) := sin (x)cos (x). Show that tan is differentiable and monotone increasing, with d dx tan (x) = 1 + tan (x)2, and that lim xπ2 tan (x) = + and lim xπ2 tan (x) = . Conclude that tan is in fact a bijection from (π2,π2) R, and thus has an inverse function tan 1 : R (π2,π2) (this function is called the arctangent function). Show that tan 1 is differentiable and d dx tan 1(x) = 1 1+x2 .
