Question

Determine which one of the following statements is true.

A. Linear growth will always exceed exponential growth.
B. Linear growth will always exceed quadratic growth.
C. Quadratic growth will always exceed exponential growth.
D. Exponential growth will always exceed linear growth.

Answer 1

D. Exponential growth will always exceed linear growth.

Explanation:

An "exponential growth function" would always exceed the "linear growth function" in the end because the "x-values" tends to get larger in continuation, so the change rate associated with the "exponential function" also increases in continuation whereas the "linear functions' change rate is considered as constant.

In the question above, option D is correct.
