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. (5 points) 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 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 smaller than the value of g(4).

The Problem:

Let g(x)=8x-2. Compare g(-2) and g(4).

Step-by-step explanation:

g(-2)=8(-2)-2

g(-2)=-16-2

g(-2)=-18

g(4)=8(4)-2

g(4)=32-2

g(4)=30

g(-2)<g(4) since g(-2) has value -18 and g(4) has value 30 and -18<30.
