find the points where the tangent line to the function is horizontal y=-x^3+x^2-2
y=-x^3+x^2-2.....the tangent line will be horizontal wherever the derivative = 0
So, the derivative is given by
y ' = -3x^2 + 2x
Set this to 0...so we have.....
-3x^2 + 2x = 0 factor
x(-3x+ 2 ) = 0 set each factor to 0
x = 0 and x = 2/3
Here's the graph showing the points of interest......https://www.desmos.com/calculator/aewacr9y2d
