Jacob measured the length of a few classroom objects. a pen is 5 3/16 inches long, a stapler is 5 3/4 inches long and a stapler is 4 7/8 inches long. list the lengths in order from least to greatest.

4 7/8 least, 5 3/16 middle, 5 3/4 greatest

f(x) has value 150 at x= 0

and 0 at x= 3

so d(f(x))/dt = slope = -150/3 = -50

answer: yes, since the line has a steeper rate of change than the exponential the y-values will be greater and they will only intersect one time.
