Question 2 (Multiple Choice Worth 1 points) (04.07) The functions p(x) and g(x) are shown below: g(x) = 0.09x p(x) = (0.09)x Which statement best describes the graph of p(x) and g(x)? The graphs will both have their y-intercept equal to 1. The graphs will both have their y-intercept equal to 0.09. The graph of p(x) will eventually exceed the graph of g(x). The graph of g(x) will eventually exceed the graph of p(x). @3mar

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

is p(x) supposed to be p(x) = (.09)^x ?

OpenStudy (mrs.ambrose614):

No it's the way it is now it's supposed to be like tis

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

then none of the answer choices work

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

there is missing information in one of the given functions i can guarantee that

OpenStudy (mrs.ambrose614):

Yes they don it's how it is on my test

Need help?

OpenStudy (mrs.ambrose614):

Yes

OpenStudy (3mar):

Where are you stuck?

OpenStudy (mrs.ambrose614):

Is it b?

OpenStudy (3mar):

\[\LARGE {g(x) = 0.09x\\ p(x) = (0.09)^x }\] are they correct like that?

OpenStudy (mrs.ambrose614):

Yes they are @3mar

OpenStudy (3mar):

so the first is a first-degree polynomial function ... represented by a straight line \(y=ax\) and the second is an exponential function (decaying one) \(y=a^x\) represented as follows: https://www.desmos.com/calculator/vxwtkic7hz

OpenStudy (mrs.ambrose614):

So the ANWSER is c?????@3mar

OpenStudy (3mar):

"exceed the graph" what does that mean?

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

honestly lol

OpenStudy (3mar):

@Mrs.ambrose614 Do you follow?

OpenStudy (mrs.ambrose614):

No

OpenStudy (3mar):

Why? Where are you stuck?

OpenStudy (mrs.ambrose614):

When you say exceed do u mean add on to????

OpenStudy (3mar):

I am sure that you and me believe that A and B are not correct... "The graphs will both have their y-intercept equal to 1" \(\Large \color{red}×\) "The graphs will both have their y-intercept equal to 0.09"\(\Large \color{red}×\) agree with me?

OpenStudy (3mar):

and you can make sure if you want and look at the graphs again... https://www.desmos.com/calculator/crkaxzsuud

OpenStudy (mrs.ambrose614):

So the correct ANWSER is d

OpenStudy (3mar):

According to the graph of the two functions, which one of C or D that satisfies?

OpenStudy (mrs.ambrose614):

I believe it's d.

OpenStudy (3mar):

Do you know how to decide?

OpenStudy (mrs.ambrose614):

No

OpenStudy (mrs.ambrose614):

Wait yes you choose wich one exceeds both points

OpenStudy (3mar):

Let me simplify it to you.... Pick any value of x (say 5) and look at the values of \(p(5)\) and \(g(5)\) .... then pick another greater value of x (say 20) and find out the values of \(p(20)\) and \(g(20)\) .... the idea is that you find which function has the greater value at a certain x-value. try this and tell me your comment!

OpenStudy (3mar):

@sweetburger Share your opinion with us, please...

OpenStudy (mrs.ambrose614):

Hello????

OpenStudy (mrs.ambrose614):

Is the awnser d???

OpenStudy (3mar):

Hello! Did you get it? Does it make sense for you?

OpenStudy (3mar):

Congratulations! ♥ \[\Huge\color{Lime}\checkmark\]

OpenStudy (mrs.ambrose614):

Because by the way you explain it you making it seems like
