A. At approximately x = 4.39, the rate of change of f is equal to the rate of change of g. B. As x increases, the rate of change of g exceeds the rate of change of f. C. As x increases, the rate of change of f exceeds the rate of change of g. D. For every value of x, the rate of change of g exceeds the rate of change of f.

As x increases, the rate of change of g exceeds the rate of change of f.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Which of the options is true?

A. At , f(x) has the same rate of change as g(x)

Rate of change is calculated as:

For f(x)

So, the rate of change is:

For g(x)

So, the rate of change is:

The rate of change of both functions are not equal at x = 4.39. Hence, (a) is false.

B. Rate of change of g(x) is greater than f(x) with increment in x

Using the formula in (a), we have:

From x = 1 to 4, the rate of change of f is greater than the rate of g.

However, from x = 5, the rate of change of g is greater than the rate of f.

This means that (b) is true.

The above table further shows that (c) and (d) are false.
