Two scientists are running experiments testing the effects of a vaccine on different control groups. The results are shown in the graph using the functions f(x) and g(x): Which statement best describes the graph of f(x) and g(x)?

A- The graph of g(x) will eventually exceed the graph of f(x)
B- The graph of f(x) will eventually exceed the graph of g(x)
C- The graphs will both have their y-intercept equal to 5
D- The graphs will both have their y-intercept equal to 2
PLEASE HELP ME!!!!

Answer: I believe the answer is B.

Although, if the answer to this question isn't B, it should defiantly be C.

Answer:

The correct option is B.

Explanation:

The graph of f(x) is g(x) is given.

Graph of both functions intersect each other at a point. Before the point of intersection g(x)>f(x) and after the point of intersection g(x)<f(x).

The graph of f(x) will eventually exceed the graph of g(x). Therefore the correct option is B.

Function g(x)<f(x) for the large value of x, So option A is incorrect.

From the given graph it is clear that the y-intercept of f(x) is 0.2 and y-intercept of g(x) is 2.

So, option C and D are incorrect.
