Answer

$$ y=2\sqrt{2}-2x$$

Work Step by Step

The equation of the tangent line to the graph of $f$ at $x=0$ is: $$y=f(0)+f'(0)(x-0)$$ $$y=f(0)+f'(0)x$$ So $f(0)=M\tan(0)+N\sec(0)=N$ so: $$y=N+f'(0)x$$ The first derivative of $f$ is: $$f'(x)=M\sec^{2}(x)+N\sec(x)\tan(x)$$ $$f'(0)=M\sec^{2}(0)+N\sec(0)\tan(0)=M$$ so: $$y=N+Mx$$ $$f'(\frac{\pi}{4})=M\sec^{2}(\frac{\pi}{4})+N\sec(\frac{\pi}{4})\tan(\frac{\pi}{4})=2M+\sqrt 2N=0$$ $$f(\frac{\pi}{4})=M\tan(\frac{\pi}{4})+N\sec(\frac{\pi}{4})=M+\sqrt 2N=2$$ The system of equations is: $$\begin{cases}2M+\sqrt 2N=0\\M+\sqrt 2N=2\end{cases}$$ $$2M+\sqrt 2N-M-\sqrt 2N=0-2$$ $$M=-2$$ so: $$M+\sqrt 2N=2 \to -2+\sqrt 2N=2 \to N=2\sqrt{2}$$ so the equation of the tangent line is: $$y=N+Mx \to y=2\sqrt{2}-2x$$
