Question

Select the correct answer. Consider functions f and g. f(x) = -x³; g(x)=|1/8x - 1| What is the value of ?

A. 9
B. -1/8
C. 1/8
D. -9

Answer 1

The question does not provide enough information to find the value of '?'. However, examples were given to show how to evaluate the given functions f(x) and g(x) if a specific value of x were known.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question seems to be incomplete as the value of '?' is not provided for evaluation against the functions f(x) = -x³ and g(x) = |1/8x - 1|. To find a specific value for either function, we would need the value of x to be specified. Without additional context, we cannot determine what '?' refers to and thus cannot provide an accurate response to this question.

However, I would be happy to demonstrate how you would evaluate these functions if a specific value of x were given. For example, if x=2, then:

• f(2) would be -2³, which equals -8.
• g(2) would be |1/8*2 - 1|, which simplifies to |1/4 - 1|, resulting in |-3/4| or 0.75.
