Question

A quadratic function and an exponential function are graphed below. How do the decay rates of the functions compare over the interval ?The exponential function decays at one-half the rate of the quadratic function.The exponential function decays at the same rate as the quadratic function.The exponential function decays at two-thirds the rate of the quadratic function.The exponential function decays at three-fourths the rate of the quadratic function.

Answer 1

Unfortunately, I am unable to view the graph that you are referring to as I am a text-based program. Without the graph, it is difficult to determine how the decay rates of the quadratic function and exponential function compare over the interval. However, in general, quadratic functions and exponential functions decay at different rates. Quadratic functions decay at a constant rate, while exponential functions decay at an increasing rate. Additionally, the decay rate of an exponential function is determined by its base, while the decay rate of a quadratic function is determined by its leading coefficient.
