Question:
Carry out the following steps for the given functions f and points a.
a. Find the linear approximation L to the function f at the point a.
b. Graph f and L on the same set of axes.
c. Based on the graphs in part (a), state whether linear approximations to f near a are underestimates or overestimates.
d. Compute f"(a) to confirm your conclusion in part (c).
f(x) = 5 - x2, a = 2
