Let $y = f(x)$ represent a parabola with focus $\left(-\frac{1}{2}, 0\right)$ and directrix $y = -\frac{1}{2}$. Then $S = \left\{x \in \mathbb{R} : \tan^{-1}\sqrt{f(x)} + \sin^{-1}\sqrt{f(x)+1} = \frac{\pi}{2}\right\}$:
(1) contains exactly two elements
(2) contains exactly one element
(3) is an infinite set
(4) is an empty set
