Given that

[tex]f(x)=30(1.2)^x[/tex]

To find the value of the function f, substitute the values of x into the given function

Where x = 0

[tex]\begin{gathered} f(0)=30(1.2)^0=30(1)=30 \\ f(0)=30 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Where x = 1

[tex]\begin{gathered} f(1)=30(1.2)^1=30(1.2)=36 \\ f(1)=36 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Where x = 2

[tex]\begin{gathered} f(2)=30(1.2)^2=30(1.44)=43.2 \\ f(2)=43.2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Where x = 3

[tex]f(3)=30(1.2)^3=30(1.728)=51.84[/tex]

From the above deductions,

The initial values of f(x) and g(x) are the same, i.e f(0) and g(0) is 30

The growth factor of f(x) is less than the growth factor of g(x)

Hence, the answers are C and D
