$${\text{True}}$$

Work Step by Step

$$\eqalign{ & {\text{Let }}f\left( x \right) = \arctan x \cr & {\text{Differentiate:}} \cr & f'\left( x \right) = \frac{d}{{dx}}\left[ {\arctan x} \right] \cr & f'\left( x \right) = \frac{1}{{1 + {x^2}}} \cr & {\text{Where }}m = f'\left( x \right),{\text{ then}} \cr & m = \frac{1}{{1 + {x^2}}} \cr & \frac{1}{{1 + {x^2}}}{\text{ is positive for all }}x,\,{\text{so }}m{\text{ is positive for all real }} \cr & {\text{numbers }}x.{\text{ The statement is true}}{\text{.}} \cr} $$
