step 1 ; find dy/dx . you can apply the quotient rule 
                    RESULT ;  ex(1-x)2/(1+x2)2
step 2; as we have to find equation of the tangent at a particular point, so just put that point in dy/dx 
                    RESULT ; dy/dx = 0
step 3 : use point-slope form of straight line wher m = 0 
                      so answer  y = 1/e
