Rearrangement gives the quadratic inequality . The associated quadratic equation has roots . Since the coefficient of is positive, the quadratic inequality holds between these roots, including the endpoints:
The chain rule givesSince , the exponent is at most , with equality precisely at . The exponential function is increasing, soThe sign of the derivative, positive for and negative for , gives the same conclusion.
The derivative is , so the tangent line has slope at . The corresponding point is because . Hence the tangent line is , or . Thus
