Question

Given the tunction g(x) = 4x - 5, compare and contrast g(2) and g(-4). Choose the statement that is true concerning these two values.

The value of g(2) is larger than the value of g(-4).
The value of g(2) is smaller than the value of g(-4).
The value of g(2) is the same as the value of g(-4).
The values of g(2) and g(-4) cannot be compared.

Answer 1

g(2)=4•2-5=3
g(-4)=4•(-4)-5=-21
So the answer is the value of g(2)is smaller than the value of g(-4)
