I have no idea what to do with this!

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

Answer

The value of g (2) is smaller than the value of g (-4).

The values of g (2) and g (-4) cannot be compared.

The value of g (2) is larger than the value of g (-4).

The value of g (2) is the same as the value of g (-4) ...?

The function given in the question is

g (x) = 4x - 5

When x = 2, then

g (2) = (4 * 2) - 5

= 8 - 5

= 3

When x = - 4, then

g (-4) = (4 * - 4) - 5

= - 16 - 5

= - 21

From the above deduction, it can be concluded that the correct option among all the options given in the question is the third option or " The value of g (2) is larger than the value of g (-4) ". I hope that the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.
