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

Find the linearization L(x) of the function at a.
f(x)=x^(3)-x^(2)+8,a=-3
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)=x^(3)-x^(2)+8, we have the following.
f^(')(x)=
Step 2
Now, at a=-3, we have f(-3)=
and f^(')(-3)=
