Find the linearization L(x) of the function at a.
f(x) = , a = 1
Answer by lwsshak3(11628) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Find the linearization L(x) of the function at a.
f(x) =x^4+6x^2, a = 1
***
L(x)=f(a)+f'(a)(x-a)
f(a)=f(1)=1+6=7
f'(a)=4x^3+12x
f'(1)=4+12=16
L(x)=7+16(x-1)
L(x)=7+16x-16
L(x)=16x-9
