Landon graphs the following 3 equations: y = 2x y = x2, and y = 10x2. He says that the graph of y = 2x will eventually surpass the graph of y = x2

but not the graph of y = 10x2.

Is Landon correct? Why or why not?

Answer: Landon is not correct. The graph of y = 2x will grow at an increasingly increasing rate, but the graph of y = 10x2 grows at a constantly increasing rate. Therefore, the graph of y = 2x will eventually pass the graph of y = 10x2.
