To determine which of the statements is true, we need to calculate \( f(7) \) and \( g(7) \).
Given:
- \( f(x) = 4x^5 \)
- \( g(x) = 7 \cdot 3^x \)
Now, let's calculate each function at \( x = 7 \).
Calculating \( f(7) \): \[ f(7) = 4 \cdot 7^5 \] Calculating \( 7^5 \): \[ 7^5 = 16807 \] So, \[ f(7) = 4 \cdot 16807 = 67228 \]
Calculating \( g(7) \): \[ g(7) = 7 \cdot 3^7 \] Calculating \( 3^7 \): \[ 3^7 = 2187 \] So, \[ g(7) = 7 \cdot 2187 = 15309 \]
Now we compare \( f(7) \) and \( g(7) \):
- \( f(7) = 67228 \)
- \( g(7) = 15309 \)
Since \( 67228 > 15309 \), we have: \[ f(7) > g(7) \]
Thus, the correct statement is: \[ \boxed{f(7) > g(7)} \]
