Solving the Linearization Problem for \dot{x}+√x = 0: Expert Suggestions"

[FaroukSchw]

Hello ,
I am trying to linearize \dot{x}+√x = 0. The only equilibrium point is at x=0; but the derivative is not defined at this point. Does anybody have a suggestion?
Regards.

Why are you trying to linearize it?

hello Office_Shredder
I just got interested in it when talking to a friend about problems that we can encounter

\sqrt{x} cannot be linearized at x= 0 precisely because its derivative does not exist.
