Answer

No values of $x$.

Work Step by Step

We have: $y=\dfrac{x}{x+1}$ We differentiate both sides with respect to $x$. $y^{\prime}=\dfrac{d}{dx} [\dfrac{x}{x+1}] \\=\dfrac{1}{(x+1)^2}$ The tangent line to the graph will be horizontal when $ \dfrac{dy}{dx} =0$ Therefore, $\dfrac{1}{(x+1)^2} \implies 1=0$ So, we find no values of $x$.
