To find the \( x \)-values where the function \( g(x) = -7x + 7\sin(2x) \) has a horizontal tangent line, we need to determine where its derivative is equal to zero. First, we compute the derivative \( g'(x) \): \[ g'(x) = -7 + 7 \cdot 2\cos(2x) = -7 + 14\cos(2x) \] Setting the derivative equal to zero gives: \[ -7 + 14\cos(2x) = 0 \] Solving for \( \cos(2x) \): \[ 14\cos(2x) = 7 \implies \cos(2x) = \frac{1}{2} \] The values of \( 2x \) that satisfy \( \cos(2x) = \frac{1}{2} \) are given by: \[ 2x = \frac{\pi}{3} + 2k\pi \quad \text{or} \quad 2x = \frac{5\pi}{3} + 2k\pi, \quad k \in \mathbb{Z} \] Dividing by 2 to solve for \( x \): \[ x = \frac{\pi}{6} + k\pi \quad \text{or} \quad x = \frac{5\pi}{6} + k\pi, \quad k \in \mathbb{Z} \] Thus, the values of \( x \) where the function \( g(x) \) has a horizontal tangent line are: \[ x = \frac{\pi}{6} + k\pi \quad \text{and} \quad x = \frac{5\pi}{6} + k\pi, \quad k \in \mathbb{Z} \]
