Question

Find the three zeroes of the function y=(1+50sin(x))/(x^2+3) on the domain -5≤x≤5, and find the slopes of the tangent lines to the curve at those x values.

Answer 1

So you need to solve 1+50sin(x)=0 on [-5,5]

Answer 2

have you done that?

Answer 3

I have. They are irrational numbers though

Answer 4

as they should be

Answer 5

so do you need help finding the derivative?

Answer 6

No I can do that part, I was just having a hard time with the zeroes

Answer 7

ah
I thought you said you found them.
and if you did what do you get?

Answer 8

Well, one of them is approximately .02

Answer 9

-.02?

Answer 10

Yes

Answer 11

x=arcsin(-1/50) <--in exact form
