Answer: " x = 16 ; - 4 " .
_____________________________
<u>Note</u>:
______________________________
-16 , +4 = -12 .
-16 * 4 = -64
______________________________
(x - 16)(x + 4) = 0 ;
______________________________
x = 16 ; - 4 .

There are 2 tangent lines that pass through the point

and

Explanation:
Given:

The point-slope form of the equation of a line tells us that the form of the tangent lines must be:
![[1]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B1%5D)
For the lines to be tangent to the curve, we must substitute the first derivative of the curve for
:



![[2]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B2%5D)
Substitute equation [2] into equation [1]:
![[1.1]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B1.1%5D)
Because the line must touch the curve, we may substitute 

Solve for x:




±
