Question

Given the function g(x) = −3x + 4, 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 smaller than the value of g(4).

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

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

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

Answer 1

This is easy, look:

It's just asking you to plug in x = -2 and x = 4 into your equation g(x) = −3x + 4:

x = -2
g(x) = −3x + 4
g(x) = -3(-2) + 4
g(x) = 6 + 4
g(x) = 10

x = -4
g(x) = −3x + 4
g(x) = -3(4) + 4
g(x) = -12 + 4
g(x) = -8

Can you tell what the correct answer is?

Answer 2

You now know that g(-2) = 10 and g(4) = -8.

Answer 3

A?

Answer 4

No, look again.

Answer 5

Is 10 less than -8? Because that's what A states.

Answer 6

No, So its D

Answer 7

Yes, you got it.

Answer 8

Thank you
