Question

Help! Medal :)
The functions p(x) and g(x) are shown below:

g(x) = 0.09x
p(x) = (0.09)x

Which statement best describes the graph of p(x) and g(x)?

The graphs will both have their y-intercept equal to 1.
The graphs will both have their y-intercept equal to 0.09.
The graph of p(x) will eventually exceed the graph of g(x).
The graph of g(x) will eventually exceed the graph of p(x).

Answer 2

Here's a graph of it.

What do you think?

Answer 3

This equation is in slope intercept form, slope intercept form is\[y = mx + b\] but is read like \[y = (slope)x + (y-intercept)\]

Answer 4

A? @iGreen

Answer 5

No.. only p(x) has a y-intercept of A.

Answer 6

Both A and B are wrong.

Answer 7

So C @iGreen

Answer 8

wait

Answer 9

confused

Answer 10

No..p(x) is negative so it keeps decreasing so it will not eventually exceed g(x). g(x) is positive and will continue to increase.

Answer 11

mmm

Answer 12

wait so if p(x) is negative it will exceed g(x) isnt that C? @iGreen

Answer 13

p(x) is negative..so it can't go past g(x) if g(x) is positive..

Answer 14

p(x) will keep going down, and g(x) will keep going up..so g(x) will eventually exceed p(x).

Answer 15

So what's your answer going to be?

Answer 16

I see thank you :)

Answer 17

D

Answer 18

Yep, you got it.
