Can you help me with backward_propagation

I got stuck in calculations

Below is my code

[snippet removed by mentor]

according to results I see that dW2 and db2 are correctly calculated.
But dW1 and db1 are wrong
Seems I have a mistake in calculation of dZ1 but I cannot figure out what.

My error

That is not the correct formula for the derivative of tanh. Please see the instructions: they tell you the formula to use and are even are nice enough to write out the code for you.
