The function provided is:

\[
f(\lambda) = 0.65 - \frac{0.75}{(1 + \lambda^2)} - 0.65 \lambda \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{\lambda}\right)
\]

### Finding the first derivative \( f'(\lambda) \)

To find \( f'(\lambda) \), we apply the chain rule, product rule, and standard differentiation techniques to each term.

1. **First term**: \( 0.65 \) is a constant, so its derivative is 0.

2. **Second term**: 
   \[
   \frac{d}{d\lambda} \left( \frac{0.75}{1 + \lambda^2} \right) = -0.75 \cdot \frac{d}{d\lambda} \left( \frac{1}{1 + \lambda^2} \right)
   \]
   Using the chain rule, this becomes:
   \[
   -0.75 \cdot \left( \frac{-2\lambda}{(1 + \lambda^2)^2} \right) = \frac{1.5\lambda}{(1 + \lambda^2)^2}
   \]

3. **Third term**: The product rule applies for \( -0.65 \lambda \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{1}{\lambda} \right) \).

   Let \( u = -0.65 \lambda \) and \( v = \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{1}{\lambda} \right) \), so:
   \[
   \frac{d}{d\lambda} \left( u v \right) = \frac{du}{d\lambda} \cdot v + u \cdot \frac{dv}{d\lambda}
   \]

   - \( \frac{du}{d\lambda} = -0.65 \)
   - \( \frac{dv}{d\lambda} \) can be found using the chain rule:
     \[
     \frac{d}{d\lambda} \left( \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{1}{\lambda} \right) \right) = -\frac{1}{1 + \left( \frac{1}{\lambda} \right)^2} \cdot \frac{-1}{\lambda^2} = \frac{1}{\lambda^2 + 1}
     \]

   Now apply the product rule:
   \[
   \frac{d}{d\lambda} \left( -0.65 \lambda \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{1}{\lambda} \right) \right) = -0.65 \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{1}{\lambda} \right) + -0.65 \lambda \cdot \frac{1}{\lambda^2 + 1}
   \]

Thus, the first derivative \( f'(\lambda) \) is:

\[
f'(\lambda) = \frac{1.5\lambda}{(1 + \lambda^2)^2} - 0.65 \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{1}{\lambda} \right) - \frac{0.65 \lambda}{\lambda^2 + 1}
\]

### Finding the second derivative \( f''(\lambda) \)

To find \( f''(\lambda) \), we differentiate \( f'(\lambda) \). This requires applying the product rule and quotient rule again to each term in \( f'(\lambda) \).

1. For \( \frac{1.5\lambda}{(1 + \lambda^2)^2} \), we need to apply the quotient rule.

2. For \( -0.65 \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{1}{\lambda} \right) \), apply the chain rule again.

3. For \( - \frac{0.65 \lambda}{\lambda^2 + 1} \), apply the quotient rule.

This results in a more complicated expression, but I can compute it step-by-step if you need.

---

Would you like me to go through the full detailed steps of finding \( f''(\lambda) \), or do you have any specific questions about these results? 

Here are some related questions:
1. How does the chain rule apply to the second derivative of inverse trigonometric functions?
2. Why is the product rule necessary for certain terms in the differentiation of this function?
3. How would the presence of higher-order terms affect the curvature of \( f(\lambda) \)?
4. Can the function \( f(\lambda) \) have points of inflection? How could we find them?
5. What are the physical or geometric interpretations of the derivatives in this context?

**Tip:** Remember that functions involving \( \tan^{-1} \) often appear in physics and engineering, where asymptotic behavior is significant. Consider how the derivatives behave as \( \lambda \to 0 \) or \( \lambda \to \infty \).
