Increasing function is any function whose value increases with respect to an increase in the variables.
Decreasing function is any function whose values are decreases with respect to an increase in the variables.
In the figure, we can consider that the base is the side that mesures 12 in and that the height is the side that measures 15 in, since that sides are perpendicular. So, we just need to use the given formula:

Hence, the area of the triangle is 90 in² (B).
Answer: $106,300
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
A = P(1 + r)
- A is the accrued amount (balance)
- P is the principal (initial amount)
- r is the rate --> convert to a decimal
Given: P = 96,812 r = 9.8% --> 0.098
A = 96,812(1 + 0.098)
= 96,812(1.098)
= 106,299.576
rounded to the nearest dollar is $106,300
The problem can be solved step by step, if we know certain basic rules of summation. Following rules assume summation limits are identical.




Armed with the above rules, we can split up the summation into simple terms:





=> (a)
f(x)=28n-n^2=> f'(x)=28-2n
=> at f'(x)=0 => x=14
Since f''(x)=-2 <0 therefore f(14) is a maximum
(b)
f(x) is a maximum when n=14
(c)
the maximum value of f(x) is f(14)=196
