Help with exponential fractions

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

is this true?

OpenStudy (calculusfunctions):

It's not true because for x = 0, they both have a y-value of 1.

OpenStudy (calculusfunctions):

Also not true in general.

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

How would you work out exponential equations? this is my first time seeing a question liek this

OpenStudy (calculusfunctions):

If you've never learned exponential functions, then it's a lesson for another time. However you can substitute different values of x and compare the corresponding function values. Good Luck!

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

work like this (1/2)^x=(2)^x when x=0 (1/2)^x<(2)^x when x>0 (1/2)^x>(2)^x when x<0

OpenStudy (calculusfunctions):

In other words, what @ikram002p is implying is that f(x) is a decreasing function and g(x) is an increasing function, as x increases.
