Expert Solution
Step 1

The equation of the  tangent line for the function f(x) at the point x=a is, y-fa=f'ax-a.

The function is y=sechln x+tan-1x2 and the point is x=e4.

First find the value of y at the point x=e4.

y=sechln x+tan-1x2=sechln e4+tan-1e42=sech4+tan-1e8=tan-1e8+2e-4+e41.6071

 

Step 2

Find the slope of the function by find the derivative of the function at the point x=e4.

y'=ddxsechlnx+tan-1x2=ddxsechlnx+ddxtan-1x2=-sechlnxtanhlnxx+2xx4+1y'e4=-sechlne4tanhlne4e4+2e4e44+16.5796×10-4
