After the value of y is 4 does the exponential function definitely surpasses the linear function.
What is exponential function?
A function whose value is a constant raised to the power of the argument, especially the function where the constant is e.
Given
Use the graphing calculator to graph these functions: y1= 2x ; y2= 2x2 ; y3 = 2x.
As we can see y1=2x is a linear function and y3=2^x is a exponential function.
The graphs of y1 and y3 meet at 2 points i.e. at (1,2) and (2,4)
When you graph the equations their point of intersection is (2,4).
Therefore, when y > 4, the exponential function surpasses the linear function.
