You can put this solution on YOUR website!
you plug in same values for x and see which one gives you bigger values for y's
\n" ); document.write( "lets plug in x=4
\n" ); document.write( "first one you get y=4^2=16
\n" ); document.write( "second one you get y=2^4=16
\n" ); document.write( "seems equal, now lets plug in x=5
\n" ); document.write( "first one you get y=5^2=25
\n" ); document.write( "second one you get y=2^5=32
\n" ); document.write( "Looks like second function wins!
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
