Answer to Problem 33E
The point at which the tangent to the curve
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The curve is
Calculation:
The tangent to any point is horizontal if the slope of the curve at that point is equal to
The formula for the slope of curve at
Substitute
Substitute
Substitute
Further simplify.
Now, equate the slope to zero.
Substitute
Therefore, the point at which the tangent to the curve
