Question

Priya is comparing two functions: (x) = 10 . y? and g(x) = 3 - 2* to find out which

one has greater output values as x gets very large.
She notices that f(1) = 10 and f(2) = 40. However, g(1) = 6 and g(2) = 12. She
concludes that as x continues to grow, the values of f will be greater than the values
of g.

Explain why priyas conclusion is incorrect

Answer 1

The value of the function g(x) will be greater, for larger values of x, because g(x) is an exponential function. Function g(x) will have a greater value for all values from x =8


So Priya's conclusion is incorrect.
