Answer:
Option C is correct.
The exponential grows at twice the rate of the quadratic.
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope(rate) is given by:
[tex]\text{Slope} = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
As per the statement:
An exponential function and a quadratic function are graphed below.
In the given interval: [0, 1]
In Exponential function graph
Consider points (0, 1) and (1, 2)
then by definition of slope we have;
[tex]\text{Slope} = \frac{2-0}{1-0} = \frac{2}{1} = 2[/tex]
⇒Rate of exponential function is 2
In Quadratic function graph:
Consider points (0, 0) and (1, 1)
then by definition of slope we have;
[tex]\text{Slope} = \frac{1-0}{1-0} = \frac{1}{1} = 1[/tex]
⇒Rate of quadratic function is 1
⇒[tex]\text{Rate of exponential function} = 2 \cdot \text{rate of quadratic fucntion}[/tex]
Therefore, the exponential grows at twice the rate of the quadratic.
