Question

What is the minimum y-value after which the exponential function will always be greater than the linear function? y = 1 y = 3 y = 4 y = 5

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

I suppose that this question relates to the image that can be seen below.

In the image, the green line represents the exponential function and the blue line represents the linear function.

The y-value after which the exponential function will always be greater than the linear function is the y-value where bot graphs intersect, such that after that point, the blue line starts increasing fast, and is always above the green line.

In this case, this point is the second intersection, and we can see that this intersection happens in the point (2, 4)

Remember that the usual notation for points is (x, y).

Then the y-value after which the exponential function will always be greater than the linear function is y = 4.
