Question

You have two exponential functions. One has the formula h(x) = 2 x + 3. The other function, g(x), has the graph shown below.

PICK:
g(2) = h(2) = 7

g(7) = h(7) = 2 g(2) > h(2) g(2) < h (2)

Answer 1

answer is C.g(2)>h(2)

Explanation:

Answer 2

To answer, we substitute each of the numbers in parentheses to x of h(x) and get the value of g(x).

A. h(2) = 2(2) + 3 = 7 ; g(2) < 4 (neither is equal to 7)

B. h(7) = 2(7) + 3 = 17; g(7) is not shown in the graph (not true)

C. h(2) = 7 ; g(2) < 4 Thus, g(2) < h(2) (choice is not true)

D. From C, g(2) < h(2) (TRUE)

Thus, the answer to this item is letter D.
