(1) Find the derivative of the function and evaluate the derivative at x=0 to find the slope of the tangent at x=0.
(2) Evaluate the function at x=0 to find the coordinates of the point of tangency.
(3) Use the slope from (1) and the point from (2) in the point-slope form of a line to get the equation of the tangent.
We can't do the work for you because we aren't sure what the function is. It looks like
4/x^2+2 =
but you probably meant
4/(x^2+2) =
