Question

Find the linearization L(x) of the function at a.

Answer 1

let f(x)=Ln|x|
then the linear aproximations is:
\[y-y_0=f'(x_0)(x-x_0)\]
where f'(x_0) is a derivative of the function taken at x=x_0
Can you do the rest?

Answer 2

the question is above

Answer 3

find the derivative of f(x) first
later find it's value at x=-8
later find falue of the function at -8: f(-8)
and take x_0=-8
Later just substitute all this values in the equation I gave you above

Answer 4

3sart(x) is the same as x^3/2?
