Well for the first function.....
ie         f(x)  = tan-1(x)    
           f '(x) =  1/(1+x2)   
 
from this expression it can be deduced that f '(x) does not exist for  1  
 
But in the question it is given      |x|  1       ie         -1  x  1        
so the domain of the derivativebecomes
 
-1 < x < 1
 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Now for the second question
ie         f (x)  = 1/2 |x - 1|
 
it can be derived that (d/dx)(|x|) = x/|x|                            (*)       
                                            
 
so, for our function f '(x) = (x - 1)/|x - 1|  
                                                 
 
obviously f '(x)  is undefined for  x=1
 
but from question x > 1
so the domain of the derivative is also     x > 1       or  
   
x    ( 1,  ) 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
(*) nudge me if u want the proof of   f '(x)  of  f (x)=|x|
