Answer:

After the coupon and sales tax were applied, he paid $15.27 for the shirt.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a shirt is $16.95. This is reduced by 15% due to the coupon.

$100\% - 15\% = 85\%$

Therefore, 85% of the shirt price is still active.

$\displaystyle \frac{85}{100}=0.85$

We can multiply this value by the shirt price to find the current price.

$16.95 \times 0.85 = 14.4075 \approx \$14.41$

However, the shirt also has a sales tax of 6% applied after the coupon.

$\displaystyle \frac{6}{100} = 0.06$ a

Now, we need to find the total price for the shirt.

$\displaystyle 14.41 \times 1.06 = 15.2746 \approx \$15.27$

Therefore, he paid $15.27 for the shirt.

$\int \bigg( - \frac{2}{7} {x}^{3} - 4 {x}^{4} - 2x \bigg)dx \\ \\ = - \frac{2}{7}\int {x}^{3}dx - 4 \int {x}^{4}dx - 2\int x dx \\ \\ = - \frac{2}{7} \times \frac{ {x}^{4} }{4} - 4 \times \frac{ {x}^{5} }{5} - 2 \times \frac{ {x}^{2} }{2} + c \\ \\ = - \frac{{x}^{4} }{14} - \frac{4}{5} {x}^{5} - {x}^{2} + c \\$
