← A straight strip of wood rests on a ramp whose profile is the curve y = x² + 2. It touches the ramp at the point (1, 3) and lies along the direction of the ramp there. Which line shows the position of the strip?
A wire is bent into the curve y = x³ - 12x. At the point with a positive x-coordinate where the tangent is horizontal, what is the value of y? →
