Question

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

Answer 1

G(-2) = 8(-2) -2 = -16 - 2 = -18 
g(4) = 8*(4) - 2 =  32 - 2 = 30 
 as you can see 30 is greater than -18 so the answer is C

Answer 2

Your answer is C I don't know how to show you my work.
