WARNING! This is A Challenging Question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The population f(x), in millions, of State A of a country after x years is represented by the function shown below: f(x) = (1.08)t The graph shows the population g(x), in millions, of State B of the country after x years: Graph of function g of x equals 2 multiplied by 1.08 to the power of t Which conclusion is correct about the population of State A and State B? The original population of State B was half of the original population of State A. The original population of State A was half of the original population of State B. The original population of State B was one-fourth of the original population of State A. The original population of State A was one-fourth of the original population of State B.

geerky42 (geerky42):

So it is given that \(f(x) = (1.08)^t\) and \(g(x) = 2(1.08)^t\) which is same as g(x) = 2f(x) So you have \(g(x) = 2\cdot f(x) \Leftrightarrow\dfrac{1}{2}g(x) = f(x)\)

geerky42 (geerky42):

f(x) represent population of state A and g(x) represents population of state B

geerky42 (geerky42):

Do you know what is going on? haha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ummmmmm... maybe?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol maybe its D?

@johnweldon1993 halp!

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

Sure...so like Geerky said above \[\large g(x) = 2f(x)\] where f(x) = State A and g(x) = State B since State B looks to be double what State A is at any point...that means the original population of State A was half of the original population of State B

geerky42 (geerky42):

Yes, that's correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks Guys! Sorry of my lack of intellegence

geerky42 (geerky42):

No need to apologize haha

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

You're very intelligent :P
