A. The graph of g(x) will eventually exceed the graph of f(x).

B. The graph of f(x) will eventually exceed the graph of g(x).

c. The graphs will both have their y-intercept equal to 1.

D. The graphs will both have their y-intercept equal to 0.05

Either C or D. (0.05)x is the same as 0.05x. I forget what the rule is for y-intercepts, but pretty sure the graphs will look the same. If you have a graphing calculator (you probably should if you're taking algebra), you can check me on that. :)
