The linear function in the graph shows the value, in dollars, of an investment in years after 2012.

The exponential function in the table represents the balance of a savings account, in dollars, over time in years after 2012.

Years since 2012 Savings account balance ($)
2 180
3 540
4 1620
5 4860

How does the y-intercept of the exponential function compare to the y-intercept of the linear function?

Drag the correct answer to the box to complete the statement.


The y-intercept of the exponential function is______ the y-intercept of the linear function.

A) approximately 130 more than

B) approximately 130 less than

C) approximately 30 more than

D) approximately 30 less than

The linear function in the graph shows the value in dollars of an investment in years after 2012 The exponential function in the table represents the balance of class=

Respuesta :

exponential fn:

2 180

3 540

4 1620

5 4860

each year is 3x of year be4

so year 0 (2012) is 180/3/3 = 20

y-intercept of linear fn (2012) is 150

The y-intercept of the exponential function is approximately 130 less than the y-intercept of the linear function

ans is B

The linear function in the graph shows the value, in dollars, of an investment in years after 2012; with the y-intercept between 140 and 160.


The exponential function in the table represents the balance of a savings account, in dollars, over time in years after 2012:

Years since 2012 Savings account balance ($)

2 180

3 540

4 1620

5 4860

Each year the balance increases by a factor of 3. So the y-intercept at Year 0 = Year 2/3^2 = 180/9

=20

That is approximately 130 less than the y-intercept of the linear function.


The answer is B.
