As x increases 2^x will grow faster than 5 x^2. This is because the x in 2^x is an exponent and its graph grows very steeply compared with 5x^2 , as x increases.
For example when x = 10
5x^2 = 5*10^2 = 500
2^x = 2^10 =1024
When x = 11:
5x^2 = 605
2^x = 2048 and the difference will continue to increase.
