A curve has equation

\(y = \frac{2 - \tan x}{1 + \tan x}\).

Find the equation of the tangent to the curve at the point for which \(x = \frac{1}{4} \pi\), giving the answer in the form \(y = mx + c\) where \(c\) is correct to 3 significant figures.

By differentiating \(\frac{1}{\cos x}\), show that the derivative of \(\sec x\) is \(\sec x \tan x\). Hence show that if \(y = \ln(\sec x + \tan x)\) then \(\frac{dy}{dx} = \sec x\).
