b) At (2, −1) does not exist, tangent line is 𝑥𝑥 = 2.

c) Vertical tangent line where 2(𝑦𝑦 3 + 1) = 0, so 𝑦𝑦 = −1
Substitute: 𝑥𝑥 2 + 2𝑥𝑥 + (−1)4 + 4(−1) = 5
𝑥𝑥 2 + 2𝑥𝑥 − 8 = 0
(𝑥𝑥 + 4)(𝑥𝑥 − 2) = 0
𝑥𝑥 = −4 and 𝑥𝑥 = 2 Points are (2, −1) and (−4, −1)
d) Horizontal Tangent line 𝑥𝑥 = −1
Substitute: (−1)2 + 2(−1) + (0)4 + 4(0) = 5 but this leads to a false
statement −1 ≠ 5
Therefore, the curve can’t have a horizontal tangent line at the x-intercept since
when 𝑥𝑥 = −1, 𝑦𝑦 ≠ 0
