Please help. Will give medal.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The functions f(x) and g(x) are shown below: f(x) = 5x g(x) = 5x 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 5.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think it's either A or B

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

are you sure you have posted the f(x) and g(x) correctly?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry g(x) was supposed to be \[5^{x}\]

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

oh, so \(\large\color{black}{ f(x)=5x }\) and \(\large\color{black}{ g(x)=5^x }\).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't really know what it means by exceeding the other graph.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

What do you think about it, is it A or B? by exceeding, the mean that y-values are going to be greater much grater. like if you say that g(x) will exceed f(x), that means that the y-values of g(x) will increase more rapidly than the y-values of f(x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then it should be b?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\large\color{black}{ g(x)=5^x }\) will have greater y-values than \(\large\color{black}{ f(x)=5x }\) as x approaches infinity. you welcome.
