Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Equation of tangent line of given function at (e,1) is found by implicitly differentiating the given function w.r.to x

Equation of tangent line is
y-y₁=m(x-x₁)
at (e,1)

Let's group the cubic function:

.
The first two roots are

however to find the last two roots we need to solve the square equation:

. Now we know the discriminator, using the discriminator we're able to find the roots of the equation:

. The roots of the square equation are

and

.
The roots of the cubic function are

,

and

.
Reduce each ratio to its minimum expression to find if they are equal.
35:28

10:8

Since both ratios reduce to 5:4, they are equivalent.
Another way to check a:b is equivalent to c:d, is that a*d = b*c
In this case, this will be true if 35 times 8 is equal to 10 times 28:

Since both products are equal, then the ratios are equivalent.
Yes they do form a proportion since they both simplify to 6/11
