A friend from New York City called me asking for help with a problem he was given. He needed to find the two horizontal tangents of the graph of the function f(x) = 2x³ + 6x² - 144x + 1 Please provide a detailed step by step description of how can we solve this problem, so that we can help my friend from New York City. Do not forget to submit your final answer into the answer boxes below and to upload a file with your explanation using the "Add Work" box. What is the negative value of where a horizontal tangent occurs? What is the positive value of a where a horizontal tangent occurs?
