Compare the two functions in the table. Will the value of function y = 2x eventually exceed the value of function y = x10?
Question
Answer:
First we rewrite the functions:y = 2x
y = x ^ 10
We note that the second function always has values of y greater than the first function. However, there is a value of x for which the first function is greater.
For x = 1 we have:
y = 2 (1) = 2
y = (1) ^ 10 = 1
We note that:
2> 1
Answer:
Yes, the value of function y = 2x eventually exceed the value of function y = x ^ 10.
