Based on the given information, we can compare the two functions.
For function f:
- It has a vertex at (1, 3).
- It passes through (-2, 10) and (8, 2).
- It intercepts the y-axis at 4 units.
For the exponential function with the given properties:
- It has a vertex at (1, 3).
- It passes through (-2, 10) and (8, 2).
- It intercepts the y-axis at 4 units.
From the information provided, we can conclude that the two functions have the same y-intercept and the same end behavior. Therefore, the correct answer is:
A. They have the same y-intercept and the same end behavior.
