It looks like your first account increases linearly,
unless you have a typo and meant:
f(x) = 10,125(1.83)^x
the second is
exponential and can be written as
g(r) = 9,638(1.95)^r
clearly g(r) has a higher percentage change since 1.95 > 1.83
a more interesting question might have been: When will the amount be the same?
10,125(1.83)^x = 9,638(1.95)^x
10,125(1.83)^x = 9,638(1.95)^x
(1.83)^x = .951901...(1.95)^x
take log of both sides and use log rules
xlog1.83 = log .951901... + xlog 1.95
x(log 1.83 - log 1.95) = log .951901...
x = .776..
check:
f(.776..) = 10,125(1.83)^.776.. = 1618410
g(.776..) = 9,638(1.95)^.776... = 16184.10
The amount of money in an account may increase due to rising stock prices and decrease due to falling stock prices. Nathan is studying the change in the amount of money in two accounts, A and B, over time.
The amount f(x), in dollars, in account A after x years is represented by the function below:
f(x) = 10,125(1.83)x
Part A: The table below shows the amount g(r), in dollars, of money in account B after r years.
r (number of years)

g(r) (amount in dollars)
9,638

Thank you so much!!! :)
How did you get the 1.95 in the second equation
unless you have a typo and meant:

10,125(1.83)^x = 9,638(1.95)^x
10,125(1.83)^x = 9,638(1.95)^x
(1.83)^x = .951901...(1.95)^x
take log of both sides and use log rules
xlog1.83 = log .951901... + xlog 1.95
x(log 1.83 - log 1.95) = log .951901...
x = .776..
