both of these functions grow as x gets larger and larger. which function eventually exceeds the other?\n$f(x)=\frac{15}{4}x + 3$\n$g(x)=\frac{3}{4}(5)^x$\nsubmit
Answer
Answer:
$g(x)=\frac{3}{4}(5)^{x}$ eventually exceeds $f(x)=\frac{15}{4}x + 3$.
Explanation:
Step1: Identify function types
$f(x)$ is linear, $g(x)$ is exponential.
Step2: Recall growth - rate property
Exponential functions ($a\cdot b^{x}$, $b>1$) grow faster than linear functions ($mx + c$) as $x\to+\infty$.
Step3: Analyze given functions
For $f(x)=\frac{15}{4}x + 3$ (linear) and $g(x)=\frac{3}{4}(5)^{x}$ (exponential with $b = 5>1$), as $x$ gets very large, $g(x)$ will be larger than $f(x)$.
