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

f(x) = (0.001)x
g(x) = 0.001x

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

Question

The functions f(x) and g(x) are shown below:

f(x) = (0.001)x
g(x) = 0.001x

Which statement best describes the graph of f(x) and g(x)?

periodicninja · Answer

The answers are
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 0.001.

Aren't they both actually the same?

periodicninja · Answer

Prathamesh_M thats hat im confused about

periodicninja · Answer

what

thesmartone · Answer

I'm sure that one of them should be (0.001)^x while the other is 0.001x. When people copy paste their problems, $0.001^x $ becomes 0.001x

I know its not the last two options

_citrus_ · Answer

I think its the second option. The exponential graph is gradually decreasing, while the linear graph, eventhough  it is barely increasing, its still is. I dont think I explained it that well, Im not sure how to :l
