L(x) = f(0) + f'(0)x = A + Bx
A=f(0) = 1/√8 = √8/8
f'(x) = 1/(2(8-x)3/2)
B=f'(0) = 1/(2•83/2)

asked 09/30/21The linear approximation at x=0 to f(x) = (1)/(sqrt(8-x)) is
L(x) = A + Bx
where
A = ??
B = ??

B= f'(0); f'(x) = [(8 - x)-1/2]' = 1/2(8 - x)-3/2; B = 1/2(8 - 0)-3/2 = 1/(32√2); f(0) = 1/(2√2);
L(x) = f(0) + f'(0)(x - 0); L(x) = 1/(2√2) + 1/(32√2)x;
B = √2/64; A = √2/4
