Answer:
a) see the plots below
b) f(x) is exponential; g(x) is linear (see below for explanation)
c) the function values are never equal
Step-by-step explanation:
a) a graph of the two function values is attached
__
b) Adjacent values of f(x) have a common ratio of 3, so f(x) is exponential (with a base of 3). Adjacent values of g(x) have a common difference of 2, so g(x) is linear (with a slope of 2).
__
c) At x ≥ 1, the slope of f(x) is greater than the slope of g(x), and the value of f(x) is greater than the value of g(x), so the curves can never cross for x > 1. Similarly, for x ≤ 0, the slope of f(x) is less than the slope of g(x). Once again, f(0) is greater than g(0), so the curves can never cross.
In the region between x=0 and x=1, f(x) remains greater than g(x). The smallest difference is about 0.73, near x = 0.545, where the slopes of the two functions are equal.
Answer:
Make a table with values of x and y using the equation y + 3 = -1/4(x - 3) :
x y
0 -2.25
3 -3
5 -3.5
-1 -2
-9 0
Now, graph these and draw a line through the points:
