Landon has the option to choose between two investment opportunities. One investment can be modeled with exponential growth. The other investment can be modeled with a quadratic function. The amount of money Landon would have with each investment after x years can be shown in the accompanying graph.

Which investment has the largest initial value?

Landon has the option to choose between two investment opportunities. One investment can be modeled with exponential growth. The other investment can be modeled with a quadratic function. The amount of money Landon would have with each investment after x years can be shown in the accompanying graph. If Landon is only planning to invest for exactly 10 years, which option should he choose? Justify your answer.

• The quadratic investment because it has a vertex when x = 10.

• The exponential investment because the quadratic investment is decreasing after 10 years.

• The quadratic investment because it is worth more after 10 years.

• The exponential investment because exponential growth always outpaces quadratic growth over time.
