From the graph you provided, the two functions plotted are:

1. Quadratic function: $y = 2x^2$
2. Exponential function: $y = 2^x$

The question asks for the interval where the value of the exponential function $y = 2^x$ is greater than the value of the quadratic function $y = 2x^2$.

Analyzing the graph:

• The green curve represents the exponential function $y = 2^x$, and the blue curve represents the quadratic function $y = 2x^2$.
• The two curves intersect twice on the graph:
  • Once at $x \approx -0.5$ (around $x = -0.5$).
  • Another time at $x \approx 1.5$.

Answer:

By observing the graph, the exponential function $y = 2^x$ is greater than the quadratic function $y = 2x^2$ for values of $x$ between the two points of intersection:

• On the interval $(-0.5, 1.5)$, the exponential function is greater than the quadratic function.

Would you like more details or have any further questions?

Here are 5 related questions to deepen your understanding:

1. How do you solve for the exact points of intersection algebraically between the two functions?
2. What are the general properties of exponential vs. quadratic functions?
3. How does the behavior of these functions change as $x$ becomes very large or very small?
4. Can you describe how to compare two functions by graphing them on the same plane?
5. How do you determine the interval where one function surpasses another from an equation alone?

Tip: To find the intersection points algebraically, set the two functions equal to each other and solve $2x^2 = 2^x$. This might require numerical or graphical methods.
