what can you say about the y values of the two functions f(x)=-5^x+2 and g(x)=-5x^2+2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a. the maximum y value of f(x) approaches 2 b. g(x) has the largest possible y-value c. f(x) has the largest possible y-value d. f(x) and g(x) have equivalent maximum y-values

you can choose more than one answer

OpenStudy (danjs):

sorry

OpenStudy (danjs):

read them as the same for some reason one is an exponential, one is a quadratic

hero (hero):

Use process of elimination for this

OpenStudy (danjs):

a) the maximum of that parabola is at the vertex (0,2), since it opens down the maximum for that exponential occurs when you move to -infinity, or it has a limiting value

hero (hero):

Here's an approach that might help: Convertthe answer choices into questions: Does the maximum y value of f(x) approach 2? Does g(x) have the largest possible y-value? Does f(x) has the largest possible y-value? Do f(x) and g(x) have equivalent maximum y-values?

it is a and b:)
