**Problem Statement:**

Find the linearization of \( y = (1 + 7x)^{-1/2} \) at \( x = 5 \).

(Use symbolic notation and fractions where needed.)

\[ L(x) = \]

**Solution Explanation:**

To find the linearization of the function \( y = (1 + 7x)^{-1/2} \) at \( x = 5 \), follow these steps:

1. **Identify the function and point of linearization**:
   \[
   f(x) = (1 + 7x)^{-1/2}
   \]
   at \( x_0 = 5 \).

2. **Calculate \( f(x_0) \)**:
   Substitute \( x = 5 \) into \( f(x) \):
   \[
   f(5) = (1 + 7 \cdot 5)^{-1/2} = (1 + 35)^{-1/2} = 36^{-1/2} = \frac{1}{6}
   \]

3. **Determine \( f'(x) \)**:
   Calculate the derivative \( f'(x) \). Using the chain rule:
   \[
   f(x) = (1 + 7x)^{-1/2} \implies f'(x) = -\frac{1}{2} (1 + 7x)^{-3/2} \cdot 7 = -\frac{7}{2} (1 + 7x)^{-3/2}
   \]
   Substitute \( x = 5 \) into \( f'(x) \):
   \[
   f'(5) = -\frac{7}{2} (1 + 35)^{-3/2} = -\frac{7}{2} \cdot 36^{-3/2}
   \]
   Since \( 36^{3/2} = (36^{1/2})^3 = 6^3 = 216 \):
   \[
   f'(5) = -\frac{7}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{216} = -\frac{7}{432}
   \]

4. **Form the linearization**:
   The linear approximation or linearization \( L(x) \) around \( x = x_0 \) is given by
