Example Positive Integer Powers, Multiples, Sums, and Differences Does the curve y = x 4 − 8 x 2 + 2 have any horizontal tangents? If so, where do they occur? Verify you result by graphing the function. If any horizontal tangents exist, they will occur where the slope is equal to zero. To find these points we will set Calculate
