I am having a big exam tomorrow and I need the help! please help with this question!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The functions f(x) and g(x) are shown below. f(x) = 0.05x g(x) = 0.05 power of x The functions f(x) and g(x) are shown below. f(x) = 0.05x g(x) = (0.05)x Which statement best describes the graph of f(x) and g(x)? The graph of f(x) will eventually exceed Which statement best describes the graph of f(x) and g(x)? The graph of f(x) will eventually exceed the graph of g(x). The graph of g(x) will eventually exceed the graph of f(x). The graphs will both have their y-intercept equal to 1. The graphs will both have their y-intercept equal to 0.05 I picked the first and don't get how it is wrong

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(\large f(x) = (0.05)^x\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

thats how f(x) looks ha ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, that's how g(x) looks like

OpenStudy (anonymous):

f(x) = 0.05x

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

ok below : \(\large f(x) = 0.05x\) \(\large g(x) = (0.05)^x\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

right ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes that is what they look like

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and I don't get how I got it wrong

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

then clearly, f(x) will exceed g(x)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

you're right

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

and, f(x) will exceed g(x) at x = 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but when I took the exam it said that it was wrong

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

first option is right

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

must be a grader problem, inform ur teacher

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you for your help

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

good luck wid exam tomoro !
