Answer:
Using a graphing calculator or a plotting tool for each of the equations, we proceed to answer your problem.
Please see attached graph
1. After what y-value does the exponential function appear to surpass the linear function?
The exponential function surpasses the linear function in
x ∈ (-∞, 1) ∪ (2,∞)
After y = 4 the exponential function definitely surpasses the linear function.
2.After approximately what y-value does the exponential function surpass the quadratic function?
(See second picture attached)
After y = 79.878 the exponential function surpasses the quadratic function.
