Question

Given the function g(x)= 4x-5 compare and contrast g(2) and g(-4)

Answer 1

g(2) = 4(2) - 5 = 8 - 5 = 3
g(-4) = 4(-4) - 5 = -16 - 5 = -21

g(2) is higher then g(-4)

Answer 2

`g(-4)` is less than
`g(2)`

Explanation:

We have been given a function
`g(x)=4x-5`. We are asked to compare and contrast g(2) and g(-4).

First of all, we will find g(2) and g(-4) as:

`g(x)=4x-5`

`g(2)=4(2)-5`

`g(2)=8-5`

`g(2)=3`

`g(x)=4x-5`

`g(-4)=4(-4)-5`

`g(-4)=-14-5`

`g(-4)=-19`

Since
`-19<3`, therefore,
`g(-4)` is less than
`g(2)`
