Indicate whether the following statement is true or false: a linear function eventually exceeds a quadratic function with a positive leading coefficient.

true
false

In the given statement, "An exponential growth function eventually exceeds a quadratic function with a positive leading coefficient." the statement is correct. An nth degree polynomial “turns around” at most n - 1 times (where n is a positive integer), but there may be fewer turns which can be seen as well in an exponential growth function.
