Calculus 7E
(a) The function is .
Differentiate on each side with respect to .
.
Slope of the tangent is derivative of the function.
.
The curve has horizontal tangent when slope of the tangent is zero.
Therefore, .
.
(c) Graph:
Observe the graph, we have slope of the tangent is zero at .
Hence the curve has horizontal tangent at .
Therefore above graph is consistent with the result of part (b).
(a) .
(b) .
