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

Plug in -2 for x. Plug in 4 for x. Compare the y-values you get for both inputs.

Answer 2

g(-2) = 8(-2) - 2
g(4) = 8(4) - 2

Answer 3

so A

Answer 4

Err, no...What's g(-2) and what's g(4)...

Answer 5

I plugged in the x-values for you. You do the math.

Answer 6

Okay now im thinking C

Answer 7

Why are you thinking C?

Answer 8

because with the equations you gave me it seems to make sense idk im probably wrong

Answer 9

What? Just. Do. The. Math. g(-2) = 8(-2) - 2 = ??
What does that equal?

Answer 10

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

With g(-2) you get -18
With g(4) you get 30

Answer 11

So I was right it's C!

Answer 12

Thank you thank you

Answer 13

You were right you guessed.

Answer 14

It wasn't a guess and you don't need to be rude
