![**Find the Linearization \( L(x) \) of \( f(x) \) at \( x = a \).**
Given:
\[ f(x) = \frac{1}{7x + 4}, \quad a = 0 \]
**Options for \( L(x) \):**
1. \( L(x) = -\frac{7}{16}x + \frac{1}{16} \)
2. \( L(x) = \frac{7}{16}x + \frac{1}{4} \)
3. \( L(x) = -\frac{7}{16}x + \frac{1}{4} \)
4. \( L(x) = \frac{7}{16}x + \frac{1}{16} \)
**Instructions:**
Choose the correct linearization expression for \( L(x) \) from the options above. This involves calculating the linear approximation of \( f(x) \) around the point \( a = 0 \).](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F2fab4e6d-dfba-4263-8692-88b0f2add278%2Fd3e4fafd-1f5e-410a-8fa3-eae88029e2f0%2F1zy9n68_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
