I need help with this problem --Find the points at which the function has a horizontal tangent line f(x)=(e^2x)/(x-1)

OpenStudy (btaylor):

The function has horizontal tangent lines when the derivative equals zero. What do you have for the derivative?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

xe^(2x)/(x-1)^2

OpenStudy (btaylor):

You didn't do that quite right. Did you remember to use the quotient rule and the chain rule for (2x) and the (x-1)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes could you show me how to do it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont know what i did wrong

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

\(\large f(x)=\large\frac{e^{2x}}{x-1}\)

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

?

i need to find the points where there is a horizontal tangent line
