Question
![**Estimating Function Value Using Tangent Lines**
This educational material shows a graph where you need to estimate the value of a function at a certain point using the tangent line.
**Problem Statement:**
Estimate \( f(5.03) \) for \( f \) as in the figure.
**Graph Details:**
- The graph displays a curve labeled \( y = f(x) \).
- A tangent line intersects the curve at the point (4, 2).
- The tangent line extends, passing near the point (10, 4).
**Instructions:**
- Use the tangent line to estimate the value of the function at \( x = 5.03 \).
- Provide your answer to three decimal places.
**Estimation Task:**
\[ f(5.03) \approx \boxed{\phantom{123}} \]](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fd33fd39e-fdd2-48ae-9a32-a52abb18a08f%2Fc2cdbf64-736d-4b96-8ae2-1b9e11dbb8ad%2Fjxe5l8o_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
