g(2) = 4(2) - 5 = 8 - 5 = 3
g(-4) = 4(-4) - 5 = -16 - 5 = -21

g(2) is higher then g(-4)

Answer:

[tex]g(-4)[/tex] is less than [tex]g(2)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a function [tex]g(x)=4x-5[/tex]. We are asked to compare and contrast g(2) and g(-4).

First of all, we will find g(2) and g(-4) as:

[tex]g(x)=4x-5[/tex]

[tex]g(2)=4(2)-5[/tex]

[tex]g(2)=8-5[/tex]

[tex]g(2)=3[/tex]

[tex]g(x)=4x-5[/tex]

[tex]g(-4)=4(-4)-5[/tex]

[tex]g(-4)=-14-5[/tex]

[tex]g(-4)=-19[/tex]

Since [tex]-19<3[/tex], therefore, [tex]g(-4)[/tex] is less than [tex]g(2)[/tex]
