Question

The functions f(x) and g(x) are described using the following equation and table:

f(x) = -6(1.02)^x

Answer 1

Which equation best compares the y-intercepts of f(x) and g(x)?
The y-intercept of f(x) is equal to the y-intercept of g(x).

The y-intercept of f(x) is equal to 2 times the y-intercept of g(x).

The y-intercept of g(x) is equal to 2 times the y-intercept of f(x).

The y-intercept of g(x) is equal to 2 plus the y-intercept of f(x).

Answer 5

fix you f(x) function

Answer 6

I didn't even realize I typed it wrong, lol
yeah so the f(x) is f(x) = -6(1.02)^x

Answer 7

now, since its all about a y intercept, what is the y intercept for f and g?

Answer 8

-6 = y for f(x)
g(x) y = -5 right?

Answer 9

f(0) = -6

g(0) = -3, by looking at x=0 on the table

Answer 10

now we can compare the options to see what makes the most sense

Answer 11

I don't think it's D..

Answer 12

me either

Answer 13

we do realize that 2 g(0) = f(0) and we can use that

Answer 14

so A and D are out

Answer 15

I'm thinking B

Answer 16

When I first read the question I thought A, but then i realized that it doesnt make sense for the answer to be A so I began to think B or C

Answer 17

But I am a bit slow on thinking so yeah ...

Answer 18

can you help me with one last question? I just need to check my answer for it.

Answer 19

one last question, sure

Answer 20

Jess plans to increase the amount of money she saves each month. She can increase her savings in the following ways:

Answer 21

If Jess wants to increase her savings linearly, which option(s) should she choose?
Only option 1, because it shows equal increases in equal intervals of time

Only option 2, because it shows equal increases in equal intervals of time

Either option 1 or option 3, because they show increases in time by the same percentages

Either option 2 or option 3; because they show increases in time by the same percentages


I chose B

Answer 22

a linear increase in savings has nothing to do with percentages, so the last 2 options are out, and the first one is a lie

Answer 23

yeah, B looks best to me

Answer 24

Okay, So B is correct? :)

Answer 25

Okay, thank you so much! :)

Answer 26

i like B, its correctness is yet to be determined tho :) good luck
