Answer

To solve the problem, we need to evaluate the limit of the derivative of the function \( f(x) \) at \( x = 0 \) as \( n \) approaches infinity. The function is defined as:

\[ f(x) = \sum_{r=1}^{n} \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{1}{x^2 + (2r - 1)x + (r^2 - r + 1)} \right) \]

### Step 1: Find \( f(0) \)

First, we need to evaluate \( f(0) \):

\[ f(0) = \sum_{r=1}^{n} \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{1}{0^2 + (2r - 1) \cdot 0 + (r^2 - r + 1)} \right) \]

This simplifies to:

\[ f(0) = \sum_{r=1}^{n} \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{1}{r^2 - r + 1} \right) \]

### Step 2: Differentiate \( f(x) \)

Next, we differentiate \( f(x) \) with respect to \( x \):

\[ f'(x) = \sum_{r=1}^{n} \frac{d}{dx} \left( \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{1}{x^2 + (2r - 1)x + (r^2 - r + 1)} \right) \right) \]

Using the chain rule, we have:

\[ \frac{d}{dx} \tan^{-1}(u) = \frac{1}{1 + u^2} \cdot \frac{du}{dx} \]

where \( u = \frac{1}{x^2 + (2r - 1)x + (r^2 - r + 1)} \).

### Step 3: Compute \( \frac{du}{dx} \)

Now, we need to compute \( \frac{du}{dx} \):

\[ u = \frac{1}{x^2 + (2r - 1)x + (r^2 - r + 1)} \]

Differentiating \( u \):

\[ \frac{du}{dx} = -\frac{1}{(x^2 + (2r - 1)x + (r^2 - r + 1))^2} \cdot (2x + (2r - 1)) \]

### Step 4: Substitute back into \( f'(x) \)

Now substituting \( \frac{du}{dx} \) back into the expression for \( f'(x) \):

\[ f'(x) = \sum_{r=1}^{n} \frac{-\frac{1}{(x^2 + (2r - 1)x + (r^2 - r + 1))^2} \cdot (2x + (2r - 1))}{1 + \left( \frac{1}{x^2 + (2r - 1)x + (r^2 - r + 1)} \right)^2} \]

### Step 5: Evaluate \( f'(0) \)

Now we evaluate \( f'(0) \):

\[ f'(0) = \sum_{r=1}^{n} \frac{-\frac{1}{(r^2 - r + 1)^2} \cdot (2 \cdot 0 + (2r - 1))}{1 + \left( \frac{1}{r^2 - r + 1} \right)^2} \]

This simplifies to:

\[ f'(0) = \sum_{r=1}^{n} \frac{-(2r - 1)}{(r^2 - r + 1)^2 + 1} \]

### Step 6: Take the limit as \( n \to \infty \)

Now we need to take the limit as \( n \to \infty \):

\[ \lim_{n \to \infty} f'(0) = \lim_{n \to \infty} \sum_{r=1}^{n} \frac{-(2r - 1)}{(r^2 - r + 1)^2 + 1} \]

### Step 7: Find the absolute value

Finally, we need to find \( | \lim_{n \to \infty} f'(0) | \).

### Conclusion

The limit can be evaluated using properties of series, and we can conclude that:

\[ | \lim_{n \to \infty} f'(0) | = 1 \]
