1. Problem Description

We are given the function f(x)=cosh(6x7)f(x) = \cosh(6x - 7) and asked to find f(0)f'(0).

2. Solution Steps

First, we need to find the derivative of f(x)f(x) with respect to xx. Recall that the derivative of cosh(x)\cosh(x) is sinh(x)\sinh(x). Also, remember the chain rule: if f(x)=g(h(x))f(x) = g(h(x)), then f(x)=g(h(x))h(x)f'(x) = g'(h(x)) \cdot h'(x).
Applying the chain rule:
f(x)=sinh(6x7)ddx(6x7)=sinh(6x7)6=6sinh(6x7)f'(x) = \sinh(6x - 7) \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(6x - 7) = \sinh(6x - 7) \cdot 6 = 6\sinh(6x - 7).
Next, we need to find f(0)f'(0).
f(0)=6sinh(6(0)7)=6sinh(7)f'(0) = 6\sinh(6(0) - 7) = 6\sinh(-7).
Recall that sinh(x)=exex2\sinh(x) = \frac{e^x - e^{-x}}{2}.
So, sinh(7)=e7e72\sinh(-7) = \frac{e^{-7} - e^7}{2}.
f(0)=6sinh(7)=6e7e72=3(e7e7)3(0.000911881096.633)=3(1096.632)3289.896f'(0) = 6\sinh(-7) = 6 \cdot \frac{e^{-7} - e^7}{2} = 3(e^{-7} - e^7) \approx 3(0.00091188 - 1096.633) = 3(-1096.632) \approx -3289.896.

3. Final Answer

The final answer is B. -3289.897
