Question

Given the function g(x) = 4x − 5, 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 smaller than the value of g(−4).

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

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

Answer 1

B?

Answer 2

g(2)=4(2)-5=3, g(-4)= -16-5=-21. so g(2) is larger. This would be answer A

Answer 3

g(2)= 3
g(-4)= -21

Answer 4

Compare them now.

Answer 5

3 is larger

Answer 6

Yes g(2) will be larget than g(-4)
