A company launches 4 new products.

Question

The market price, in dollars, of the four products after a different number of years, x, is shown in the following table: 

 

Product 1 | f(x)=4x+8| $12 | $16 | $20

Product 2 | g(x)= 2^x| $2   |  $4  | $8

Product 3 |h(x)=x2+12| $13| $16 | $21

Product 4 | j(x) = x^3| $1   | $8   | $27

 

Based on the data table, for which product does the price eventually exceed the others? 

Answer 1

Hi Isabella,

 

The price of product 4 will eventually exceed the others since it is a cubic function.
