Quick Check Solutions Graphing Quadratic Functions Target F
1) \( j(x) \) is an exponential function. As the x-values increase by 1, the y-values are each being multiplied by 2.
2) To find \( g(2) \), substitute 2 in for \( x \) in the function \( g(x) \) and evaluate. This gives you a value of \( g(2) = 6 \). To find \( h(4) \), move along the x-axis until you get to where \( x \) is 4, then travel up until you reach the graph of the function, which is where \( y=5 \). So \( h(4) = 5 \). Since 6 is greater than 5, that means that \( g(2) > h(4) \).
