Question

Let f be a function with f'(x) = sinx^2 and f(0) = -1

find the linearization of f at x=0

Answer 1

Linearization? As in the linear approximation?

Answer 2

Well, use \[
y - f(a) = f'(0)(x-a)
\]where \(a=0\)

Answer 3

I've tried.. is it suppose to turn out as -1?

Answer 4

Yeah

Answer 5

Oh, huh I just thought I was wrong or messed up somewhere..

Answer 6

Well thank you for clarifying that for me
