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.

The value of g(-2) is smaller than the value of g(4).
The value of g(-2) is the same as the value of g(4).
The values of g(-2) and g(4) cannot be compared.
The value of g(-2) is larger than the value of g(4)

Answer 1

PLEASE HELP!!!

Answer 2

to compare and contrast g(-2) and g(4) you would first have to find each one of them

Answer 3

okay

Answer 4

\(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle g(x) = -3x + 4 }\)
if I were to find g(3) I would plug in 3 instead of x, into the g(x).
\(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle g(\color{blue}{3}) = -3\color{blue}{(3)}+ 4 }\)
\(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle g(\color{blue}{3}) =-9+ 4 }\)
\(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle g(\color{blue}{3}) =-5 }\)

Answer 5

same way, find g(-2) and g(4).

To find g(-2) plug in -2 for x
To find g(4) plug in 4 for x

Answer 6

okay let me do that

Answer 7

sure, go ahead.

Answer 8

so... g(-2) = 10 and g(4) = -8?

Answer 9

yes, very good. Both are correct!

Answer 10

Now knowing the value of g(-2) and g(4) choose the appropriate answer choice.

Answer 11

So its the last choice.

Answer 12

Yes, brilliant !
