Given the function g(x) = 8x-2, compare and contrast g(-2) and gl4). Choose the statement that is true concerning these two values. O The value of g(-2) is larger than the value of g(4) OThe value of g(-2) is the same as the value of g(4). OThe value of g(-2) is smaller than the value of g(4) OThe values of g(-2) and g(4) cannot be compared.

Given: g(x) = 8x - 2

So, the value of g(-2) = 8 * -2 - 2 = -18

And g(4) = 8 * 4 - 2 = 30

We will check the given statements according to the values of g(-2) and g(4):

1) The value of g(-2) is larger than the value of g(4) [Wrong]

Because the value of g(-2) is smaller then the value of g(4)

2) The value of g(-2) is the same as the value of g(4) [Wrong]

3) The value of g(-2) is smaller than the value of g(4) [True]

4) The values of g(-2) and g(4) cannot be compared.​ [wrong]

So, the true statement is The value of g(-2) is smaller than the value of g(4)
