Answer

  1. \because g( 4)=8

    Substituting into the given function g(x)= ax^2+24 establishes the following equation

    8 = 4^2a+24

    Solve the equation

    1=2a+3

    a=-1

    g(x) is determined as

    g(x) = -x^2+24

    Substituting x=-4 into the function gives

    g(-4)=-(-4)^2+24=8

    A is correct choice
