Are my calculations to graph this function [f(x)=(1)/(3+x^2)] correct?

Can you please check them over and see if I have done this wrong?

1st page good, function has a relative max at x=0

On the 2nd page, we can save a lot of steps by using the product rule instead of quotient, with the second factor of the product being (3+x^2)^{-2}. I did wind up with the same answer!

I don't understand the last part of p. 3. The function is continuous at x=0, with
lim(x->0+) = lim(x->0-) = f(0) = 1/3.
It is also true that f(-1) = f(1) = 1/4 .. no infinities.
