He gave you the derivatives, or the rate of change, of the two functions. f(x) clearly grows at a much faster rate. For example, the change from f(2) to f(3) is 130000, while the change from g(2) to g(3) is 13000. Some people on the internet will talk about limits and constants or whatever, but I mean ... it's clearly not the same growth rate.
