1. **State the problem:** We need to find the values of the piecewise function $$g(x)$$ at $$x=1$$ and $$x=2$$.
2. **Recall the piecewise function definition:**
$$g(x) = \begin{cases} -3x & \text{if } x < 2 \\ 12 & \text{if } x \geq 2 \end{cases}$$
3. **Evaluate $$g(1)$$:** Since $$1 < 2$$, use the first case:
$$g(1) = -3 \times 1 = -3$$
4. **Evaluate $$g(2)$$:** Since $$2 \geq 2$$, use the second case:
$$g(2) = 12$$
**Final answers:**
$$g(1) = -3$$
$$g(2) = 12$$
