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.

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

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

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

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

Answer 1

g(2) = -4(2) + 5 = -3
g(4) = -4(-4) + 5 = 21
so The value of g(2) is smaller than the value of g(−4). *the answer is (b)
