standard_description: Compare properties of two functions each represented in a different way (algebraically, graphically, numerically in tables, or by verbal descriptions). For example, given a graph of one quadratic function and an algebraic expression for another, say which has the larger maximum.
problem_activity: Task
How do the values of the three functions $f(x) = 2x$, $g(x) = x^2$ and $h(x) = 2^x$ compare for large positive and negative values of $x$?
Explain
your findings from part (a) for $f$ and $g$ by studying the quotients $\frac{g(x)}{f(x)}$.
Explain your findings from part (a) for $g$ and $h$ by studying $\frac{g(x+1)}{g(x)}$ and $\frac{h(x+1)}{h(x)}$ for different values of $x$.
