(1 point) Identify the appropriate $f(x)$ and $a$ in order to estimate the value of $sin(-0.001)$ using an appropriate linear approximation $L(x) = f(a) + f'(a)(x - a)$. Then estimate $sin(-0.001)$ using that linear approximation. $f(x) = $ help (formulas) $a = $ help (numbers) $sin(-0.001) \approx $ help (numbers)
