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

Option C is correct.

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

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function:              ......[1]

Compare and contrast g(-2) and g(4).

find g(-2);

substitute the value of x = -2 in [1] we get;

Similarly ,

For g(4);

Substitute the value of x = 4 in [1];

Compare g(-2)  and g(4);

g(-2) = -18

g(4) = 30

then; g(-2) < g(4)

As you can see the value of g(4) is larger than the value of g(-2) or in other words, we can say that the value of g(-2) is smaller than the value of g(4)

step-by-step explanation:

here's what happens:

1) the graph of f   = x^2 is shifted 2 units to the right.

2) the resulting graph is reflected in the x-axis, so that the parabola now opens down.

3) this final result is transformed up by 5 units.

the terms of a geometric sequence can be found by beginning with the first term and multiplying by the common ratio repeatedly. a recursive formula for a geometric sequence with common ratio r is given by an=ran−1 a n = r a n − 1 for n≥2 n ≥ 2 .
