For any differentiable function f, the best linear approximation to f ( x ) at the point x = a is the line defined by
y = f ( a ) ( x a ) + f ( a ) .
(Intuitively, this makes sense: f ( a ) is like "the slope of f at a", and the line with slope f ( a ) that goes through the point ( a , f ( a ) ) is precisely the one specified above).
find the derivative of f ( x ) = x + x 4 with respect to x
