Question

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.

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.

Answer 1

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

Explanation:

i just took the test

Answer 2

Lets get started!
First. g(x)=4x-5,
Second. g(2) = 4(2)-5=8-5=3
Third. g(-4) = 4(-4)-5=-16-5=-21
Final. So since 3 > -21 the correct answer shall be A. The value of g(2) is larger than the value of g(−4).
