Which statement below describes the comparison of rate of change between the linear function f(x) and the exponential function g(x).

• g(x) rate of change is ALWAYS greater than f(x) rate of change.

• g(x) is NEVER greater than f(x) rate of change.

• g(x) will eventually exceed the rate of change of f(x).

• There is not enough information to compare the rate of change of f(x) to g(x).
