Given:
The parent function is:
[tex]f(x)=2^x[/tex]
The other function is:
[tex]g(x)=2f(x)[/tex]
To find:
The statement that describes a key feature of function g.
Solution:
We have,
[tex]f(x)=2^x[/tex]
[tex]g(x)=2f(x)[/tex]
Using these two functions, we get
[tex]g(x)=2(2)^x[/tex]
Putting [tex]x=0[/tex], we get
[tex]g(x)=2(2)^{(0)}[/tex]
[tex]g(x)=2(1)[/tex]
[tex]g(x)=2[/tex]
The y-intercept of the function g at (0,2). So, option A is correct and option B is incorrect.
We know that [tex]g(x)\to 0[/tex] as [tex]x\to -\infty[/tex] and it will never intersect the line [tex]y=0[/tex]. It means the horizontal asymptote of the function g is
Therefore, the correct option is A.
