The graph of will always remain above that of since .
The graphs will intersect when plotted on the same coordinate plane for some positive value of .
As approaches infinity, surpasses in value regardless of and 's sizes.

10200
If the base of an exponential function is replaced with its reciprocal, how does this affect the graph of the original function ?
The x-intercepts of the graph are shifted to the right.
The graph shifts vertically upward by one unit.
The graph is reflected over the y-axis.
The graph becomes steeper with increasing x values.

If you were comparing an arithmetic sequence with common difference and an exponential sequence with base (), how would their th terms compare as approaches infinity?
The arithmetic and exponential sequences would oscillate without a approachable limit.
The th term of the exponential sequence would eventually far exceed that of the arithmetic sequence.
The arithmetic sequence's th term would eventually far exceed that of the exponential sequence.
Both sequences' th terms would approach the same finite limit as approaches infinity.
