Two different businesses model their profits over 15 years, where x is the year, f(x) is the profits of a garden shop, and g(x) is the profits of a construction materials business. Use the data to determine which function is exponential, and use the table to justify your answer.

Question

x f(x) g(x)
1995 $69,682.50 $72,429.27
2000 $78,943.50 $79,967.77
2005 $88,204.50 $88,290.88
2006 $90,056.70 $90,056.70
2007 $91,908.90 $91,857.83
2010 $97,465.50 $97,480.27

f(x) is exponential; an exponential function increases more slowly than a linear function.

f(x) is exponential; f(x) increased more overall than g(x).

g(x) is exponential; g(x) has a higher starting value and higher ending value.

g(x) is exponential; an exponential function increases faster than a linear function.
