Answer 2

i think that it is a or c. a is the i am must sure about.

Answer 3

Why?

Answer 4

what do you mean why?

Answer 5

Its usually 2 answers

Answer 6

ok so you need to answers

Answer 7

yea

Answer 8

Now that I look at the question closer I think it is A and D. I can be wrong but I think that the answer is A and D.

Answer 9

we can test C outright, what are the initial values for f and g?

Answer 10

not sure, there are always two answers

Answer 11

how can you not be sure what the inital values of f and g are?

Answer 12

0 and 50?

Answer 13

when x=0, what is f(0)?, what is g(0)?

Answer 14

another idea: since they are implied to be the same type of function, exponential, then we can determine g's rate by simply dividing off the 50, since exponentials are generally spose to start at 0,1

Answer 15

the rate of change for g is then, g(1)/50; and the rate of change for f is f(1)/50 ... since they both have the same initial value of 50

Answer 16

What would be the other one?

Answer 17

what is g(1)?

Answer 18

what do you mean by 'the other one'?

Answer 19

There are two correct answers

Answer 20

and instead of just giving them to you straight out, i am trying to foster an environment of study and learning .... guiding you thru a solution process that you can apply to other things.

Answer 21

ah, I do apologize I do want to learn.

Answer 22

can we rule out D? if so, why?

Answer 23

Don't they both have the same decay?

Answer 24

decay means they get smaller as x gets bigger. the table for g shows an increase, not a decay ... and f has a rate of 1.4 so it has to get bigger by 140% each time.

Answer 25

ah

Answer 26

so, the only other option will be to compare the rates. since f(0) = g(0) = 50 is one of the solutions.

Answer 27

f is stated as 1.4 already

g can be determined as g(1)/50

Answer 28

Wait so A?

Answer 29

youre going to have to compute the rate of change for g.

Answer 30

if g(0) = 50r^0 = 50
then g(1) = 50r^1 = 75

50r = 75, solve for r

Answer 31

3/2

Answer 32

good, or 1.5 for easy comparison

rate of f is 1.4
rate of g is 1.5

is A correct or incorrect?

Answer 33

incorrect

Answer 34

then lets go with B :)

Answer 35

Wow thank you so much!

Answer 36

good luck :) ad thinks for the participation, it really helps

Answer 37

thank you!
