Question
Suppose that f(x) is differentiable for x > 0, y = 2x + 1 is the tangent line to the graph of f at x = 1, and f(2) = 6.
Which statement must be correct?
f is concave up on (1,2).
f is not concave up on (1, 2).
f is not concave down on (1,2).
f is concave down on (1, 2).
The concavity of f on (1,2) cannot be determined from the given information.
