Find the x-value at which the tangent to the function of y= (4/e^2x-2) + 8x is parallel to the x-axis.

Step-by-step explanation:

The tangent line is parallel to the  

x

axis when the slope (hence  

d

y

d

x

) is zero and it is parallel to the  

y

axis when the slope (again,  

d

y

d

x

) goes to  

∞

or  

−

∞

Explanation:

Now,

when the nuimerator is

, provided that this does not also make the denominator

.

when

We have now, two equations:

Using  

y

, we get

The tangent to the curve is horizontal at the two points:

(

√

)

and  

(

−

√

,

√

)

(Observe that these pair do not also make the denominator of  

d

y

d

x

equal to  

0

)

To find the points at which the tangent is vertical, make the denominator of  

d

y

d

x

equal tpo  

0

(without also making the numerator  

0

).

We could go through the solution, but the symmetry of the equation that we will get:

x

=

−

2

y

, so

y

=

±

and the points on the curve at which the tangent is vertical are:

(

and

By the way. Because we do have the technology, here is the graph of this rotated ellipse: (Note that

were is the equation

image result for what is another name for consecutive interior angles? ​

when two lines are crossed by another line (called the transversal): the pairs of angles on one side of the transversal but inside the two lines are called consecutive interior angles. in this example, these are consecutive interior angles: d and f.
