Please answer the following questions to the best of your knowlege. Thank you.

Let f(x) = 2x2 - 16x + 8. Find the value(s) of x for which the slope of the curve y = f(x) is 0. Find the value(s) of x for which the slope of the curve y = f(x) is - 12. The point(s) at which the slope of a tangent line is 0 is [f]. (Type an ordered pair. Use a comma to separate answers as needed.) The point(s) at which the slope of a tangent line is - 12 is (Type an ordered pair. Use a comma to separate answers as needed.)

Explanation / Answer

Slope = f ' (x)

= 4x - 16

a) Slope = 0

4x - 16 = 0

x = 4

Points are (4, -24)

b) Slope = -12

4x - 16 = -12

4x = 4

x = 1

Points are (1, -6)
