Question

Let f(x)=10x+2,g(x)=2^x, and h(x)=x^2+2x+1. Which function has the greatest output value for x=2.

A. Function f

B. Function g

C. Function h

Answer 1

A, Function f

Explanation:

to see which function has the greatest output when x = 2, we simply plug in 2 into each function

f(2) = 10(2) + 2 ---> 20 + 2 = 22

f(2) = 22

g(2) =
`2^(2)` = 4

g(2) = 4

h(2) = (2)² + 2(2) + 1 ----> 4 + 4 + 1 = 9

h(2) = 9

comparing the functions, we see that the function with the largest output is f(x)

our answer is A, Function F

Answer 2

The right answer is Function F.

Explanation:

f(x)=10(2)+2=22

g(x)= 2^(2)=4

h (x)=(2)^2+2 (2)+1=9
