Problem

A differentiable function hh satisfies h′′(x)>0h''(x)>0 for all xx in the interval [2,2.4][2,2.4]. The linear approximation of hh at x=2x=2 gives L(2.4)=5.12L(2.4)=5.12. Using this information, determine the correct inequality relation between h(2.4)h(2.4) and 5.125.12, and justify your answer in one or two sentences.
