Given that a function, g, has a domain of -1 ≤ x ≤ 4 and a range of 0 ≤ g(x) ≤ 18 and that g(-1) = 2 and g(2) = 8, select the statement that could be true for g.

g^(3)=18
g^(1)=-2
g^(5)=12
g^(2)=4

wait... does it say g^3 or g(3)???

alexisHales · Answer

oh yea the g(3)

yes
Given that a function, g, has a domain of -1 ≤ x ≤ 4 and a range of 0 ≤ g(x) ≤ 18 and that g(-1) = 2 and g(2) = 8, select the statement that could be true for g.

g(3)=18
g(1)=-2
g(5)=12
g(2)=4
we already know that g(2) = 8, so g(2) can't equal 4.
g(5) =12 is wrong also because 5 isn't within the domain.
Now we are left with the top 2 answer choices.
The 2nd one is also wrong because g(1) can't equal -2. This is because -2 is outside the range of g(x). So what are we left with?

g(3)=18
