1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to evaluate the function g(x)=24x8+3g(x) = -2|4x - 8| + 3 at x=4x = -4. This means we need to find the value of g(4)g(-4).

2. Solution Steps

First, we substitute x=4x = -4 into the expression for g(x)g(x):
g(4)=24(4)8+3g(-4) = -2|4(-4) - 8| + 3
Next, we simplify the expression inside the absolute value:
4(4)8=168=244(-4) - 8 = -16 - 8 = -24
So we have:
g(4)=224+3g(-4) = -2|-24| + 3
The absolute value of 24-24 is 2424, so we have:
g(4)=2(24)+3g(-4) = -2(24) + 3
Now, we multiply 2-2 by 2424:
2(24)=48-2(24) = -48
So we have:
g(4)=48+3g(-4) = -48 + 3
Finally, we add 48-48 and 33:
48+3=45-48 + 3 = -45
Therefore, g(4)=45g(-4) = -45.

3. Final Answer

g(4)=45g(-4) = -45
