The graph shown below with the heavy line is the graph of y = ax.
Sketch the graph of f(x) = (1+ a) x on this same set of axes without using a graphing calculator..

| Faster. | Does y = (1+ a) x grow faster or slower than y = ax for x > 0? |
| Show work. | Illustrate the above fact by sketching the graphs of y = (1+ a) x and y = ax on the same set of axes. |
