Question

The functions f(x) and g(x) are shown below:

f(x) = 0.05x
g(x) = (0.05)x

Which statement best describes the graph of f(x) and g(x)?

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

Answer 1

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. :)
