Consider the function. \(f(x) = (4x + 1)^2\ Step 1 of 2: Find all values of \(x\) that correspond to horizontal tangent lines. Select \"None\" if the function does not have any values of \(x\) that correspond to horizontal tangent lines.

Step 1
f(x) = (4x + 1)^2 so f'(x) = 2(4x+1)·4 = 8(4x+1). Horizontal tangents occur where f'(x) = 0. Show more…

Consider the function. f(x) = (x - 2) / (x - 4) Step 1 of 2: Find all values of x that correspond to horizontal tangent lines. Select "None" if the function does not have any values of x that correspond to horizontal tangent lines. Answer How to enter your answer Separate multiple entries with commas. Selecting a radio button will replace the entered answer value(s) with the radio button value. If the radio button is not selected, the entered answer is used. x = None

For the function, find the points on the graph at which the tangent line is horizontal. If none exist, state that fact. y = 5x - 4 List all the points where the tangent line is horizontal. Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice. A. The point(s) at which the tangent line is horizontal is(are) . (Type an ordered pair. Use a comma to separate answers as needed.) B. The tangent line is horizontal at all points of the graph. C. There are no points where the tangent line is horizontal.
