What can you say about the y-values of the two functions f(x)= 3x^2-3 and g(x) = 2^x-3 ?

Answers

A) The minimum y-value of g(x) approaches -3

B) f(x) has the smallest possible y-value.

C) g(x) has the smallest possible y-value.

D)f(x) and g(x) have equivalent minimum y-values.

Step-by-step explanation:

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4
