I used synthetic division on the first one cuz I could and got that D is the answer for that one (#3); the next one I used long division and got C. Learn how to do this because it's a method of factoring and factoring is everywhere...it's just as important as being able to solve equations.

<span>A.
Both functions have the same y-intercept.</span> TRUE
<span>B.
f(x) has a negative slope while g(x) has a positive slope.</span> Tricky question. Yes, f(x) has the negative slope m = -2. However, g(x), being a curve, does not have a single slope; rather, it has a varying slope that increases (becomes less negative) as x increases. Some people might argue that this statement is TRUE, while others would argue that it's FALSE, because the 2nd function does not have just one single value for the slope.
<span>C.
Both functions are linear functions.</span> ABSOLUTELY NOT. The first one is linear; the second is a "decaying exponential" whose graph is a curve.
D. <span>
g(x) has a common ratio of 4. Yes and no. I'd say the common ratio is (1/4), because each y value is (1/4) of the previous y value
