Question

Indicate whether the following statement is true or false: A linear function eventually exceeds a quadratic function with a positive leading coefficient.

Answer 1

@HWBUSTER00 can you help?

Answer 2

Consider y = 5x and y = 5x². Which one would increase faster?

Answer 3

y=5^2 @peachpi

Answer 4

yes. So the quadratic exceeds the linear

Answer 5

so its true @peachpi

Answer 6

no it's false. your question is the other way around.

Answer 7

ohh. mind helping me with another question? @peachpi

Answer 8

ok

Answer 9

The first-, second-, and third-year enrollment values for a technical school are shown in the table below.

Enrollment at a Technical School
Year (x) First Year f(x) Second Year s(x) Third Year t(x)
2009 785 756 756
2010 740 785 740
2011 690 710 781
2012 732 732 710
2013 781 755 800


Which of the following statements is true based on the data in the table?
The solution to f(x) = s(x) is x = 2,009.
The solution to f(x) = s(x) is x = 785.
The solution to f(x) = t(x) is x = 2,010.
The solution to f(x) = t(x) is x = 740.
