Final answer:

The net change in the value of the function g(t) = 2 - t^2 from -3 to 7 is -40.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the net change in the value of the function from -3 to 7, we need to subtract the value of the function at the initial point from the value at the final point.

Substituting -3 into the function g(t) = 2 - t^2, we get g(-3) = 2 - (-3)^2 = 2 - 9 = -7.

Substituting 7 into the function, we get g(7) = 2 - (7)^2 = 2 - 49 = -47.

Therefore, the net change in the value of the function from -3 to 7 is -47 - (-7) = -40.

Answer:


-54

Step-by-step explanation:

The net change of
g(t) from
-3 to
7 is just
g(7) -g(-3).

Given:


g(t) = 2 -t^2

Solution:


g(7) -g(-3) \\ (2 -(7)^2) -(2 -(-3)^2) \\ (2 -49) -(2 -9) \\ -47 -7 \\ -54
