Problem

Let f(x)=arctan⁡(2x)f(x)=\arctan(2x) for all real xx. (i) The graph of ff is reflected in the xx-axis and then translated vertically upward by π4\dfrac{\pi}{4}. Write the equation of the resulting function g(x)g(x). (ii) Determine the equations of all horizontal asymptotes of the graph of gg. (iii) Find all points where the graphs of ff and gg intersect. (iv) Sketch the graphs of ff and gg on the same set of axes, clearly labelling intercepts and asymptotes. (v) From the algebraic form of gg, state the intervals on which gg is increasing and compare this with the monotonicity of ff.
