Question

Given the function g(x) = 8x − 2, compare and contrast g(−2) and g(4). Choose the statement that is true concerning these two values.

The value of g(−2) is larger than the value of g(4).

The value of g(−2) is the same as the value of g(4).

The value of g(−2) is smaller than the value of g(4).

The values of g(−2) and g(4) cannot be compared.

Answer 1

\[g(-2)=8\times (-2)-2=-16-2=-18\]
\[g(4)=8\times 4-2=32-2=30\]

Answer 2

now compare numbers and see what answer is correct
