Is my work correct?
Find the linearization of: y=sinhx at x=0
linear approximation = f(a) + f'(a)(x-a)
d/dx sinhx = coshx
f(0) = 0
f'(0) = 1
By plugging those into the linear approx formula we get:
f(0) + f'(0)(x-0)
0 + 1(x-0)
1x
x <--------------------- answer is x

that looks right.
now try to think about this for a second.
draw the graph of sinh(x). And look at the slope of the line at the point x=0. Does it look like that line is y=x?
Here is the graph:
Looks like it to me!
