Compare and Contrast Exponential Function

In the first year of an annual 5K run there were 120 participants. In the 2nd and 3rd year of the 5K run, there were 180 and 270 participants respectively. This situation is best modeled by a(n) ________________ function.

• linear

• quadratic

• exponential

• none of the above

Given the following table of values, construct the function that represents the sequence.

• y = 3(4)^x

• y = 3x + 4

• y = 4(3)^x

• y = 4x + 3

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

• The value of g(x) is always greater than the value of f(x).

• The value of g(x) is never greater than the value of f(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).

Compare the following functions: Y(x) is shown in the table and f(x) = 95(1.25)^x Which statements are true? Show work (hint: make a table for f(x) and find the growth factor for y(x)).

• When x>3, f(x) will exceed y(x)

• g(x) will reach 120 first.

• f(x) has a smaller y intercept compared to y(x)

• From 0 <x < 2, g(x) has a faster rate of change.
