From x is equal to 0 to x is equal to 2 , which of the following best describes the growth of the two functions?

From x = 0 to x = 2, y = 5x increases from 0 to 10, a gain of 10. Meanwhile, y = 5^x increases from 1 to 25, a gain of 24. Since 24 is greater than 10, y = 5x grows slower than y = 5^x, as choice A states.
