Question

If g(x) = 1 - ¾ x
find: -5g(4) - 1

Answer 1

-5g(4) - 1 is 9

Explanation:

`g(x) = 1 - (3)/(4) x`

when x is 4:

`g(4) = 1 - (3)/(4) * 4 \\ = 1 - 3 \\ = - 2`

therefore:

`- 5g(4) - 1 = - 5( - 2) - 1 \\ = 10 - 1 \\ = 9`

Answer 2

9

Explanation:

g(x) = 1 - ¾ x

-5g(4) - 1

First find g(4) = 1 - 3/4(4) = 1 - 3 = -2

Then -5(-2) -1 = 10 -1 = 9
