question

Suppose f(x)f(x) is a function that has this property: For all real numbers aa and bb such that a<ba<b, the portion of the graph of y=f(x)y=f(x) between x=ax=a and x=bx=b lies below the line segment whose endpoints are (a,f(a))(a,f(a)) and (b,f(b))(b,f(b)). (A function with this property is called strictly convex.) Given that f(x)f(x) passes through (−2,5)(-2,5) and (2,9)(2,9), what is the range of all possible values for f(1)f(1)? Express your answer in interval notation.

Original LaTeX notation
Suppose $f(x)$ is a function that has this property: For all real numbers $a$ and $b$ such that $a<b$, the portion of the graph of $y=f(x)$ between $x=a$ and $x=b$ lies below the line segment whose endpoints are $(a,f(a))$ and $(b,f(b))$. (A function with this property is called strictly convex.) Given that $f(x)$ passes through $(-2,5)$ and $(2,9)$, what is the range of all possible values for $f(1)$? Express your answer in interval notation.
