Dana and Dona made model rockets. Dana has Rocket 1 and Dona has Rocket 2. Both launch their rockets at the same time. If both rockets continue to increase in height at their same rates, which rocket will be the highest at 40 seconds. Rocket ​ (a)   will be higher, because it is a(n) ​ (b)   function. Rocket ​ (c)   is a(n) ​ ​ (d)   function.

Function A is linear and starts with $1000 and increases by $100 each day y=100x+1000. Function B is exponential and begins with $20 but doubles each day y = 20(2)^x. On which interval (domain) does Function B exceed Function A?

• (0,1635.34)

• (0,6.353)

Which statement below describes the comparison of the linear function f(x) and the exponential function g(x)?

• The value of g(x) will eventually exceed the value of f(x).

• There is not enough information to compare the value of f(x) to the value of g(x).
