100 - 0.05 = 0.95
Expected monthly cost =
Monthly cost x 0.95 + office visit x 0.05
15 x 0.95 + 50 x 0.05
14.25 + 2.50 = $16.75
The one year-plan would have a credit, so it would have a positive sign. In the monthly plan, there is a high risk of being late in paying the bills. That's why a fine of $10 is given for every month that you are late. If you are not time conscious and you end up being late every month, it would give you a negative balance.
Answer:
It is a decreasing function for 0 < b < 1.
Step-by-step explanation:
Logarithm function:
The logarithm function is given by:

The base b determines if the function increases or decreases.
For 0 < b < 1, the function decreases.
For b > 1, the function increases.
In this question:
By the definition above, it is a decreasing function for 0 < b < 1.
The second one is correct
