Question: Find the linearization L ( x ) of the function at a . f ( x ) = x 3 - x 2 4 ,

Find the linearization L(x) of the function at a.
f(x)=x3-x24,a=-2
Step 1
Recall that the linearization of f(x) for x=a is given by
L(x)=f(a)f'(a)(x-a)
For f(x)=x3-x24, we have the following.
P(x)=
Step 2
Now, at a=-2, we have f(-2)= and f''(-2)=
Find the linearization L ( x ) of the function at
