Will a quantity increasing exponentially eventually exceeds a quantity increasing as a polynomial function?

The answer is generally No.

In general cases, the increasing rate of an exponential function is smaller than polynomials with the lower order.

Sorry for my previous misleading info.

e.g. x^2 is always bigger than e^x
