The second equation g(x) approaches -3, but NEVER gets there.  Whereas the first equation f(x) IS -3 at x = 0.

retireed · Answer

Is it possible to have two correct answers?

anonymous · Answer

yea its possible @retirEEd

anonymous · Answer

@Directrix no its well written ?

directrix · Answer

I messed up. Sorry.

I read g(x)=2^x-3 and g(x) = x^2 - 3.

g(x)=2^x-3 is not a parabola.

retireed · Answer

@lovelyvaal I think Directrix is mis-reading the g(x) equation I see it as ...$$g(x) = 2^{x} - 3$$

anonymous · Answer

yea he said he read it wrong @retirEEd

anonymous · Answer

i belive its A and C? @Directrix @retirEEd

retireed · Answer

Any I think there are two correct answers.  What do you think they are?

retireed · Answer

Yes you beat me to it.  Good job!

anonymous · Answer

A and C? @retirEEd

retireed · Answer

NO C and D I can't read.

anonymous · Answer

wait what lol ? A and C? Or C and D? lol Im confused :/? @retirEEd

retireed · Answer

C g(x) approaches -3  while D is -3, the lowest possible y.

retireed · Answer

Sorry, I said yes at the wrong answer.  C and D are correct.
