What is true of the function g(x) = –2x2 + 5?

g(x) is the multiplication of g and x.
–2x2 +5 is the input of the function.
The variable x represents the independent variable.
The variable g represents the input of the function.

Answer:

3. The variable x represents the independent variable.

Explanation:

We are given the function,
g(x)=-2x^2+5.

So, according to the options, we have,

1. As g(x) represents a function. So, g(x) is not the multiplication of g and x.

2. As the value
-2x^2+5 is the output value. So, it is not the input value.

3. The variable x is an independent variable.

4. As, the variable g is the output value. So, it is not the input value of the function.

Hence, the true statement for the given function is,

3. The variable x represents the independent variable.
