The equation is
.
The curve has horizontal tangent when the slope of the tangent is zero.
\\
Slope of the tangent is derivative of the curve.
\
.
Differentiate on each side with respect to
.
Equate the above expression to zero.
\
,
and
.
Hence there are three horizontal tangent lines.
\
- coordinates of horizontal tangent lines are
,
and
