For what values of x is the tangent line of the graph of

f(x)=2x^3−12x^2+19x+0
parallel to the line y=1x+0.7 ? Enter the x values in order, smallest first, to 4 places of accuracy:

1 answer

the slope of the line is 1. So, you want the slope of the tangent to be 1.

f'(x) = 6x^2-24x+19 = 1
x = 1,3

check:
f(1) = 9
f(3) = 3

So the tangent lines are
y-9 = x-1, or y=x+8
y-3 = x-3, or y=x
