Proof that |arctan(x)π4(x1)2|(x1)22
I'm trying to prove that, for every x1 :
|arctan(x)π4(x1)2|(x1)22
I could do it graphically on R, but how to make a formal algebraic proof?

We have that for x1
arctanxπ4(x1)20|arctanxπ4(x1)2|=π4+(x1)2arctanx
then consider
f(x)=(x1)22+arctanxπ4(x1)2f(x)=1x2+1+x320
and since f(1)=0 we have that f(x)0 and the inequality is proved.

Hint: For each x>1, Taylor gives
arctan(x)=π4+(x1)2+arctan(cx)2(x1)2
where 1<cx<x Thus all you need to show is that |arctan(c)|1 for all c1
