Question

Y = 1/2(x+4) compare to y = (x-1)^2-3 on graph

Answer 1

the first one is going to be greater because the second one will come out to have a negative exponent which will be a fraction under 1

Answer 2

The first one will also have a negative exponent. In fact, the first one will be smaller because 1/(2x+8) is smaller than
1/(x-1)
