Answer:

d is greater than c, since at
x = 0, g(x) > f(x)

Explanation:

We are given two exponential functions, f and g.

Since f has the higher base(3 instead of 2 in g), it increases faster, so initially, g is greater than f, and after point (p,q), f is greater than g.

The values of c and d are found when
x = 0. At this point, we have that g is greater than f, so d is greater than c.
