Which of the following statements is true for large positive values of xx regarding the functions f(x)=−5x4+7xf(x)=-5x^4+7x and g(x)=2x6−3x2+1g(x)=2x^6-3x^2+1? a) Both f(x)f(x) and g(x)g(x) increase without bound, but g(x)g(x) stays larger than f(x)f(x). b) f(x)f(x) grows faster and becomes larger than g(x)g(x) for large positive xx. c) g(x)g(x) grows faster and is larger than f(x)f(x). d) For large positive xx, g(x)g(x) eventually turns negative because of the −3x2-3x^2 term, so f(x)f(x) exceeds g(x)g(x).
