Cookie Monster 22 Use the story to answer the questions. Cassie was happy that she made the basketball team her 8th grade year. Her parents had been worried that Cassie wouldn't make the team because she didn't act like an athlete outside of practice. Cassie knew they had a point . It was just so hard to eat healthy when sugar existed . She could eat an entire box of chocolate chip cookies in a sitting. She wanted to go practice hoops in the driveway, but the television was there luring her into the next amazingly entertaining show .

Yes, the correct answer is b.

You need to figure out at which x-value does the graph has a tangent line slope of -1.remember, the derivative is the slope of the tangent line. so find the derivative function and set it to equal -1 to find the x-value that will have a tangent line slope of 0.differentiate with the chain rule.    set the derivative to equal -1 and solve for x.      take log base 10 of both sides. also recall that  .    so the x-coord of the point of tangency is .the y-coordinate of this point of tangency can be calculated using the original function:     using point-slope form, the equation of the tangent line is      the x-intercept of this tangent line is when the graph is at y=0.    this rounds off to  .choice c.
