Beyond the Answer
To find the \( x \)-values where the line tangent to the curve \( F(x) = (x^2 - 14x + 24)^{700} \) is horizontal, we first need to compute the derivative \( F'(x) \) using the chain rule. The derivative of \( F(x) \) is given by: \[ F'(x) = 700 (x^2 - 14x + 24)^{699} \cdot (2x - 14). \] Setting \( F'(x) = 0 \) will help us find where the tangent is horizontal. This occurs when either factor in the product is zero: 1. \( (x^2 - 14x + 24)^{699} = 0 \) 2. \( 2x - 14 = 0 \) From the first equation, we have: \[ x^2 - 14x + 24 = 0. \] Factoring this quadratic, we find: \[ (x - 12)(x - 2) = 0, \] which gives the solutions \( x = 12 \) and \( x = 2 \). Now, for the second equation, we solve: \[ 2x - 14 = 0 \implies x = 7. \] Putting everything together, the \( x \)-values where the curve has a horizontal tangent are: \[ x = 2, 7, 12. \] Thus, the final answer is: \[ 2, 7, 12. \]
