Both functions decrease at (-1, 2)
<h3>How to determine the decreasing intervals of the function?</h3>The complete question is added as an attachment
The polynomial function f(x) is represented by the graph.
From the graph, the polynomial function decreases at (-2, 2)
The absolute function is given as;
f(x) = =5|x + 1| + 10
The vertex of the above function is
Vertex = (-1, 10)
Because a is negative (a= -5), the vertex is a maximum.
This means that the function decreases at (-1, ∞)
So, we have
(-2, 2) and (-1, ∞)
Combine both intervals
(-1, 2)
This means that both functions decrease at (-1, 2)
See attachment 2 for the number line that represents the interval where both functions are decreasing
