Question

Two quadratics functions are shown


`f(x) = (x + 1) ^2`
how would the graphs of f(x) and g(x) compare? ​

Answer 1

See the explanation.

Explanation:

Table the values of f(x) against the values of x:

x (x + 1)^2

0 1

1 4

2 9

3 16

Comparing this with the g(x) table we see that for all values of x > 0 values of f(x) are greater than values of g(x).

The third choice is the correct one.
