@aaronq or ANYONE THAT CAN HELP
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.
g(-2)=8(-2)-2=-18 g(4)=8(4)-2=30
All you gotta do is sub x for the given number: For g(4): \[g(4)=8(4)-2\] For g(-2) \[g(-2)=8(-2)-2\]
then solve
g(4)=8(4)-2........g(4)=30-2....30 g(-2)=8(-2)-2.....g(-2)= -16-2...-18
The first one equals: 30 The second one equals: -18 like @lacrosseplayer22 said
I said it toooo!
u too Venny
lol
i have a doubt , how is that comparing it's just getting the desired value. please let me know anyone.
...
We didn't fully answer it. We just gave the values to be compared...
I don't think it's comparing. It should be the value of g(-2) is smaller than the value of g(4)....Correct me if I'm wrong @camerondoherty or @Venny
@ZekeWars the answer would therefore be B because the value of g(4) is 30 which is greater than the value of g(-2) which is -18
B says that they are the same. it should be C :)
>.<
Yes @lacrosseplayer22 you are 100% correct and sorry i was meaning c lol
xD
its C
but what i said was true
MY BRAIN LOL
just got the options mixed up lol
ok thanks all, can you help me with my last one when i post it? :P
@ZekeWars is C for sure! Because the value of g(4) is 30 which is greater than the value of g(-2) which is -18
I think he means a different question....
ik that
im just officially telling him
lol
thats it for sure
sorry
what?
The other question is called Hola...
