Question

Given g(x)=−x−1, find g(-4)

Answer 1

3

Explanation:

We just plug in -4 for x to get the equation: -(-4)-1. Negatives cancel out and we get 4-1 which is 3

Answer 2

g(-4) = 3

Explanation:

Plug in -4 for x in the given equation:

g(x) = - x - 1

g(-4) = - (-4) - 1

Note that if there are two negative signs directly next to each other, it would become a positive. Therefore:

- (-4) = 4

Simplify:

4 - 1 = 3

g(-4) = 3 is your answer.
