Final answer:
The mathematical operations in the function g(x) = 3x + 2 are multiplication followed by addition. To find g(5), we calculate 3 times 5 plus 2 to get 17. To find g(-4), we calculate 3 times -4 plus 2 to get -10.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student has asked about using the function g(x) = 3x + 2 to perform several operations. However, there seems to be a typo, as the function is later referred to as 9(x). Assuming the correct function is g(x) = 3x + 2, let's proceed with that in mind.
- a. The mathematical operations in the function are: multiplication (3x) followed by addition (+2).
- b. To find g(5), we calculate 3(5) + 2 = 15 + 2 = 17.
- c. To find g(-4), we calculate 3(-4) + 2 = -12 + 2 = -10.
By following these steps of multiplication and addition, we can find the values of the function for any given input.
