In Problems 11–20, use the graph of the function f given.

List the interval(s) on which f is decreasing.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Decreasing intervals are :

(-∞,-8);(-2,0);(2,5)

Step by step solution

01

Given Information 

use the graph of the function f given.

02

Decreasing intervals

Decreasing intervals are the intervals where the graph goes down . we look at the x values where the graph goes decreasing.

Decreasing intervals are

(-∞,-8);(-2,0);(2,5)

In March 2011, Peoples Energy had the following rate schedule for natural gas usage in single- family residences:

Monthly service charge- \(18.95

Per therm service charge

1st50therms- \)0.33372/therm

Over 50therms- \(0.12360/therm

Gas charge- \)0.5038/therm

(a) What is the charge for using 50therms in a month?

(b) What is the charge for using 500therms in a month?

(c) Develop a model that relates the monthly charge Cfor xtherms of gas.

(d) Graph the function found in part (c)

Graph the function using the techniques of shifting, compressing, stretching, and/or reflecting. Start with the graph of the basic function and show all stages. Be sure to show at least three key points. Find the domain and the range of each function. Verify your results using a graphing utility.
