Given:

The function


f(x)=(2x)/(x^2+1)

Required:

Find the equation of the tangent at f(x) at x=0.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of f(x),


f^(\prime)(x)=(2(-x^2+1))/((x^2+1)^2)

Now, the slope of function at x = 0 is f'(x) = 2.

The line with slope m = 2 and passing through (0, 0).


f(x)=2x

Answer:

Equation of tangent of the function at x = 0, f(x) = 2x.
