How do you find the linearization at a=pi/6 of f(x)=sin2xf(x)=sin2x? Calculus Applications of Derivatives Using the Tangent Line to Approximate Function Values 1 Answer Jim H Jan 17, 2018 L(x) = sqrt3/2+(x-pi/6)L(x)=√32+(x−π6) Explanation: L(x) = f(a)+f'(a)(x-a) f(pi/6) = sin(pi/3) = sqrt3/2 f'(x) = 2cos2x, so f'(pi/6) = 2cos(pi/3) = 1 L(x) = sqrt3/2+(x-pi/6) Answer link Related questions How do you find the linear approximation of (1.999)^4 ?
