Question

They intersect at the point (p, q). Which is greater, c or d? Explain how you know.

Answer 1

Answer:

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

Step-by-step 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.
