The precision of a linear approximation is dependent on the concavity of the function. If the function is concave down then the linear approximation will lay above the curve, so it will be an over-approximation ("too large"). If the function is concave up then the linear approximation will lay below the curve, so it will be an under-approximation ("too small").
