The graph of function f is shown. Function g is represented by the equation. Look at the graph and picture!

B) different y intercepts; same end behavior

=======================================================

Explanation:

The graph shows the y intercept is 4 as this is where the green curve crosses the vertical y axis.

The y intercept of g(x) is 6 which can be found by plugging x = 0 into the g(x) function

g(x) = 4(1/4)^x + 2

g(0) = 4(1/4)^0 + 2

g(0) = 6

So we can see the y intercepts are different.

----------

However, the end behaviors are the same for each function. The left side of f(x) goes up forever to positive infinity. The same is true for g(x). You could use a graphing calculator or a table to see this. As x heads to negative infinity, y goes to positive infinity.

In terms of symbols,

----------

For the right side of f(x), it slowly approaches the horizontal asymptote y = 2. It never actually reaches this y value. The same happens with g(x). The portion 4(1/4)^x gets smaller but never gets to 0 so overall 4(1/4)^x+2 gets closer to 2. We can say that as x approaches infinity, y approaches 2.
