Final answer:

The value of (y−1)′(0) cannot be determined from the given information.

Step-by-step explanation:

The point (16,0) is on the curve, which means that the y-coordinate of the point is 0. To find the value of (y−1)′(0), we need to find the derivative of the curve at x=0 and then evaluate it. Let's find the derivative first.

Assuming the curve is represented by the equation y = f(x), the derivative (y−1)′ can be found by differentiating f(x) with respect to x. However, we don't have the equation of the curve, so we need more information to solve the problem.

Without the explicit function or additional context, the requested derivative cannot be determined. Given the lack of context, the correct answer is d) Cannot be determined from the given information.

Without additional information about the curve, we cannot determine the value of (y−1)′(0). Therefore, the answer is (d) Cannot be determined from the given information.
