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.

OpenStudy (freckles):

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

OpenStudy (freckles):

have you done that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have. They are irrational numbers though

OpenStudy (freckles):

as they should be

OpenStudy (freckles):

so do you need help finding the derivative?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (freckles):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, one of them is approximately .02

OpenStudy (freckles):

-.02?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes
