Part 1: Describe the graphs of the functions f(x) = 2^(x) – 3 and g(x) = –2(x) – 3.

Part 2: Compare and contrast the domain and range of f(x) and g(x).

Question

Part 1: Describe the graphs of the functions f(x) = 2^(x) – 3 and g(x) = –2(x) – 3.  

Part 2: Compare and contrast the domain and range of f(x) and g(x).

anonymous · Answer

$$f(x)=2^{x}-3 $$

anonymous · Answer

$$g(x)=2^{x}-3$$

Will give medal!?!?!?

anonymous · Answer

@uri can you help me with this

hero · Answer

$f(x)$ and $g(x)$ do not appear to be the same.

anonymous · Answer

i mean g(x) in front of the 2 is - so -2

hero · Answer

$f(x) = 2^x - 3$ While $g(x) = -2(x) - 3$. That's what I see.

anonymous · Answer

Yes that is the problem.

hero · Answer

Okay, so if that's the case, one is exponential and the other is linear.

anonymous · Answer

Ok so part 1:
f(x):linear
g(x):exponetial
?

hero · Answer

Well, that would only be the initial part of the description. To describe them fully, you have to describe specific characteristics of the actual graph of both functions.

anonymous · Answer

i thought there is no exponetial?
iSN'T THERE ONLY:
Absolute value function, quadratic function, cubic fuction, radical function, rational function, and linear function?

hero · Answer

What do you mean there's no exponential function? How could there not be one?

anonymous · Answer

Lol nv my bad

hero · Answer

Some of the top math sites: Wolfram Alpha, Purple Math, and Wikipedia all give descriptions about them.
