Function gg is twice differentiable at x=1x=1. A quadratic polynomial P(x)=a+b(x−1)+c(x−1)2P(x)=a+b(x-1)+c(x-1)^2 is chosen to approximate gg near x=1x=1. Which of the following equalities must hold if and only if PP shares the same slope as gg at x=1x=1? a) P(1)=g(1)P(1)=g(1) b) P′′(1)=g′′(1)P''(1)=g''(1) c) P′(1)=g′(1)P'(1)=g'(1) d) P′(1)=g(1)P'(1)=g(1)
