Answer:
The new account balance is <u>$812</u>.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Larry Thomas's charge account statement shows an unpaid balance of $800.
The monthly finance charge is 1.5% of the unpaid balance.
Now, to find the new account balance.
Unpaid balance = $800.
Monthly finance charge of the unpaid balance = 1.5%.
Now, to get the new account balance:
$800 + 1.5% of $800.
Therefore, the new account balance is $812.
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
