Answer 1

The graph below shows a company's profit f(x), in dollars, depending on the price of pencils x, in dollars, being sold by the company:

Part A: What do the x-intercepts and maximum value of the graph represent? What are the intervals where the function is increasing and decreasing, and what do they represent about the sale and profit?
Part B: If at one time the profit of the company was at least $100, what domain could possibly produce this profit?

Part C: What is an approximate average rate of change of the graph from x = 2 to x = 5, and what does this rate represent?

Answer 2

help i'm going crazy please!!!!!!!??????????

Answer 3

"What do the x-intercepts and maximum value of the graph represent?" I'll answer this by example. Supposing that x=the price at which the pencil is sold=0.
The graph shows that the amount of profit that would result would be zero (look at the point (0,0) ).

Suppose that the selling price of a pencil is set at 6. What profit would result?
Suppose it's set at 3. What profit would result?

What is the max profit possible, and at which x value?
