Explain to me 1) the similarities/differences in the two lines, 2) how are the two graphs related to one another, and 3) how do the equations show this relationship for the following:

First off, the function A is an exponential one with a base of 4
the function B is just a horizontal line at y  = 1/4

1) similarities? none other than they have both share the same point of -1, 1/4 or -1, 0.25, so they cross each other at that point, after that, B keeps on going horizontally, and A keeps on going up.

2)  related?  not sure on that one, I don't see much relation, other than they're both on the same plane and share the same axes.

3)  hmmm what is the following again?

The first one minimumi hope my answer you.

X= 2 he can buy 2 packs of cards for $12 and an action figure for $3 so he would spend $15 in total plus the free poster
