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.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

Mehek (mehek14):

g(2) = put 2 for x \(4x-5\\4*2-5\) what is 4 * 2 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8

Mehek (mehek14):

correct 8 - 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3

Mehek (mehek14):

so the value of g(2) = 3

Mehek (mehek14):

now for g(-4) put - 4 for x \(4*(-4)-5\\ 4*(-4)=?\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-16

Mehek (mehek14):

-16 - 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-11

Mehek (mehek14):

nope -16 - 5 = -(16+5)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-21..

Mehek (mehek14):

correct

Mehek (mehek14):

so which has a bigger value?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

got mixed up for a sec lol g(2)

Mehek (mehek14):
