Question

A quadratic function and an exponential function are graphed below. Which graph most likely represents the quadratic function?

Answer 1

Graph and Answers:

Answer 2

I think its the second one but im not sure

Answer 3

the graph is so small it's so hard to differentiate the lines

Answer 4

@amistre64 can you help?

Answer 12

Exponential function always grows faster than quadratic function, so C makes sense.

Answer 13

Thank you, @geerky42 , do you mind if I as you two more questions?

Answer 14

Sure

Answer 15

The table below shows the values of f(x) and g(x) for different values of x. One of the functions is a quadratic function, and the other is an exponential function. Which function is most likely increasing quadratically?

Answer 16

f(x), because it grows more slowly than g(x)
f(x), because it eventually intersects g(x)
g(x), because it grows faster than f(x)
g(x), because it will not intersect f(x)

Answer 17

Again, exponential function always grows faster than quadratic function.

So can you tell which grow slower?

Answer 18

I feel like f(x) is exponential because it isn't consistent

Answer 19

and it's growing way faster

Answer 20

Hmm, g(x) seem to grow by being multiplied by 2.

2*2=4; 4*2 = 8, 8*2 = 16, and so on

Answer 21

\(g(x)\) behaves like \(2^x\)

Answer 22

Right?

Answer 23

I believe so

Answer 24

So we can guess that g is exponential function.

So we are left with A or B.

Answer 25

intersections don't really tell us much, so we better off going with A.

Answer 26

Thank you!
