OpenStudy (sooobored):

what is the growth factor of g(x)

OpenStudy (sooobored):

compare g(0) to g(1)

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

how

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

@sooobored

OpenStudy (sooobored):

look at teh graph when x=0 what is y?

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

it is 1 @sooobored sorry for late responses aswell

OpenStudy (sooobored):

ok, when x=0, y=1 its the equivalent of saying g(0)=1 now if x=1, y =? or g(1) =?

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

1?

OpenStudy (sooobored):

look again

OpenStudy (sooobored):

what point does the graph cross at x=1?

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

4

OpenStudy (sooobored):

it looks like it crosses y=5 better than y=4 so g(1)= 5

OpenStudy (sooobored):

5 divided by 1 =?

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

5

OpenStudy (sooobored):

ok this is your common ratio the common ratio of g(x) is 5 what is the common ratio of f(x)?

OpenStudy (sooobored):

sorry, base, not common ratio base - exponential functions common ratio is geometric sequences

OpenStudy (sooobored):

ok, in your case, the growth factor is the base/ common ratio if i told you the growth factor of f(x) is 3 is 3 greater, equal, or less than 5?

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

less than

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

thanks @sooobored
