The following table shows some of the values of functions

$g(x)$ , which is exponential. What can be concluded from these values (and general properties of these functions), and why?

$\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ mathbf{x} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \$	$\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \mathbf{f(x)} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \$	$\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \mathbf{g(x)} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \$
$2$	$23$	$4$
$3$	$33$	$8$
$4$	$43$	$16$
$5$	$53$	$32$
$6$	$63$	$64$
$7$	$73$	$128$

$g(x) > f(x)$ for all values of $x$ . This is because $f(x)$ is an exponential function, which must always be greater than a linear function.
$g(x)>f(x)$ for $x>=6$ . Since the values of $g(x)$ continue to increase by ever greater amounts each unit interval, they will continue to be greater than the values of $f(x)$ which are only increasing by the same amount each unit interval.
$g(x) > f(x)$ for $6 <= x <= 45$ . If a linear function intersects an exponential function, it must do so twice. Therefore, the two functions will intersect again at approximately $x~~2^5.5 ~~ 45.3$ , and thereafter $f(x) > g(x)$ .
$g(x) > f(x)$ for $x>=6$ and $g(x) < f(x)$ for $x <= 5$ . Since $x~~5.5$ is the only point of intersection, and given the values in the table, $g(x)$ must be greater than $f(x)$ for values of $x$ greater than or equal to 6 and it must be less than $f(x)$ for values of $x$ less than or equal to 5.

The following table gives some of the values of

$f(x)$ , a quadratic function, and

$g(x)$ , an exponential function. What can be concluded from these values (and general properties of the functions), and why?

$\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ mathbf{x} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \$	$\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \mathbf{f(x)} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \$	$\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \mathbf{g(x)} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \$
$8$	$32.0$	$1.5$
$9$	$40.5$	$4.1$
$10$	$50.0$	$11.0$
$11$	$60.5$	$29.9$
$12$	$72.0$	$81.4$
$13$	$84.5$	$221.2$

$g(x) > f(x)$ for $12 <= x <= 20$ . $f(x)$ is quadratic and has a minimum near $x =16$ , as is indicated by the values in the table. After this point, $f(x)$ will start growing more rapidly than $g(x)$ and become greater than $g(x)$ for $x>20$ .
$g(x) > f(x)$ for $x >= 12$ . Since exponential functions and quadratic functions can only intersect at one point, the intersection point near $x=11.5$ means that $g(x) > f(x)$ for $x >= 12$ and $f(x) > g(x)$ for $x <= 11$ .
$g(x) > f(x)$ for all values of $x$ . Since $g(x)$ is exponential, it must therefore always be greater than a quadratic function.
$g(x) > f(x)$ for $x>=12$ . Since $g(x)$ is exponential, the difference of values between each unit interval will continue to increase. Although the difference of quadratic values will also increase, they do so at a much slower rate.

A new type of bacteria has been developed and its growth can be controlled by certain chemicals. With chemical compound A, the bacteria will grow according to the function

$f(t) = 400t^3 + 6t^2 + t + 10$ , where

$f$ measures the mass of bacteria in milligrams over

$t$ days. With chemical compound B, the bacteria will grow according to the function

$g(t) = 10e^(2t)$ , where

$g$ measures the mass of the bacteria in milligrams over

$t$ days. Which chemical compound will result in greater bacterial growth over the long term?

Eventually, they will both produce about the same growth.
It is not possible to say, with the given amount of information.
Chemical compound A.
Chemical compound B.

For a general exponential function

$g(x) = cb^x, c>0, b>0 " and " b!=1$ and a general polynomial function

$P(x) = a_1 x^n + a_2 x^{n-1} + ... + a_n x + a_{n+1}, \ \ a_1 > 0$ , which of the following conclusions is correct?

Without knowing more about the specific functions, no conclusion can be made.
That for an even degree polynomial, $P(x) > g(x)$ , but for an odd degree polynomial $g(x) > P(x)$ .
That, as long as $P(x)$ has no maximum or minimums for $x>0$ , $P(x) > g(x)$ . Otherwise, $g(x) > P(x)$ .
That there will always exist a value $x_0$ such that $g(x) > P(x)$ for $x > x_0$ .
