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.
Answer

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

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

Answer 1

did you plug in the x=2 and x=-4? where ever you see an x, replace that with 2 or -4. for example:

f(2) = -4(2) + 5 = -8 + 5 = -3

now you do that for x=-4,

f(-4) =
