Problem

At a point aa, the tangent line to the graph of a differentiable function ff is used to approximate nearby function values. If this linear approximation is an underestimate for xx values close to aa, which of the following is the best conclusion about ff at x=ax=a? a) f′′(a)=0f''(a)=0 b) f′′(a)>0f''(a)>0 c) f′′(a)<0f''(a)<0 d) f′′(a)f''(a) does not exist
