    The gradient of the graph is given by (Hint: use the quotient rule)

    The gradient of the graph at x = e^2 is given by

    The y coordinate at the point where x = e^2 is given by

    Now, you have the coordinates of a point and a gradient at that point. That is enough to find the equation of the tangent.

    Post what you get! :)
