Question

Consider the two functions:

g(x)=20(1.5)x
and

f(x) in the table:
Which is true?

Question 7 options:

g(0) < f(0)


g(0) > f(0)


g(0) = f(0)


g(0) and f(0) cannot be compared.

Answer 1

g(0) > f(0)

Explanation:

Evaluate the functions at the point of interest: x=0.

g(0) = 20·1.5^0 = 20·1 = 20

f(0) = -40 . . . . from the table

Since 20 > -40, we conclude ...

g(0) > f(0)
