    The function f is twice differentiable with f(2) = 1, f'(2)=4, and f''(2)=3.  What is the value of the approximation of f(1.9) using the line tangent to the graph of f at x = 2?

    Suppose that for a twice differentiable function f (x), f '(x) > 0 and f ''(x) > 0 on the interval (1,3). If we use a linear approximation at x = 2 to estimate f (1.9), will that estimate be an underestimate or overestimate, and why?

    Underestimate since f '' > 0 on (1, 3)

    Overestimate since f '' > 0 on (1,3)

    Underestimate since f ' > 0 on (1, 3)

    Overestimate since f ' > 0 on (1, 3)
