Practice: Quotient rule You can solve this using the chain rule, combined with
the quotient rule, but it becomes very ugly, very quickly!
But there is a more elegant way of solving it, as follows:
Equation of tangent line
ln((1+e^x)/(1+e^(-x)))
Equation of normal line
Break the logarithm up:
=ln(1+e^x) - ln(1+e^-x)
