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 exponentially?

x f(x) g(x)
1 2 2
2 5 4
3 10 8
4 17 16
5 26 32

A. f(x), because it grows slower than g(x)
B.f(x), because it eventually intersects g(x)
C. g(x), because it grows faster than f(x)
D. g(x), because it will not intersect f(x)

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 exponentially?

x	f(x)	g(x)
1	2	2
2	5	4
3	10	8
4	17	16
5	26	32

A. f(x), because it grows slower than g(x)
B.f(x), because it eventually intersects g(x)
C. g(x), because it grows faster than f(x)
D. g(x), because it will not intersect f(x)

g(x), because it obviously is exponentialized by 2, but in the question's terms, C

Ok thx! I knew it was g(x) just didnt know which one if it was C or D
