Question

Help? I'll tell you what I have so far I just need the problem checked

Answer 1

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? (5 points)

Part B: At one time the profit of the company was at least $220, what domain could possibly produce this profit? (2 points)

Part C: What is an approximate average rate of change of the graph from x = 2 to x = 4, and what does this rate represent? (3 points)

Part A: The x-intercepts represent the solutions to the equation and the maximum value represents the most profit the company can make. For the increasing interval, you have less than or equal to 2 and for the decreasing intervals are greater than or equal to 2. This shows that as the price of notebooks being sold to the company increases, the overall profit increases for when they cost $2 or less and when the notebooks sold to the company cost more than $2, their profit decreases.

Answer 2

For part B I have The domain for a profit of $220 is about 1 is greater than or equal to x is less than or equal to 3. This is because, looking at the graph, anything from those x-values corresponds to at least a y-value of 220.

Answer 3

Here's the graph

Answer 9

hello

Answer 10

I dont know I will ask some people to help you

Answer 11

Thank you

Answer 12

@amistre64 @Preetha @Sworewolf please come help this person

Answer 13

The x-intercepts represent the solutions to the equation

this is not complete, what do the 'solutions of the equation' represent at these points?

Answer 14

I'm not sure, but I think the highest and lowest cost that the company is paying for notebooks?

Answer 15

i dont know what the graph is plotting, since its not labeled.

if the max value of whatever it is we are measuring, is at x=2, then the value is 0 at the points that the graph hits the x axis.

Answer 16

they do not represent solutions to the equation, the represent a real life situation ...

Answer 17

Oh, here The graph below shows a company's profit f(x), in dollars, depending on the price of notebooks x, in dollars, being sold by the company. I missed that part when typing the question

Answer 18

:) so when the price is set at 0 or 4, we are just breaking even, we make no profit, and no loss. seems fair?

Answer 19

Wait, which part?

Answer 20

Oh! Part 1

Answer 21

Okay, yeah makes sense

Answer 22

What is an approximate average rate of change of the graph from x = 2 to x = 4, and what does this rate represent?

what is the slope of the line between the points?

Answer 23

Part C: Well at x=2, y=300 and at x=4, y= 0 so 300- 0 300
-------- = -------- = -150
2-4 -2
That's what Ihave so far but idk if it's right

Answer 24

its right, what does the slope between then tell us?

Answer 25

I'm not sure

Answer 26

the loss in profit we would expect to make per notebook for a $2 increase in price from $2 to $4

Answer 27

That makes sense

Answer 28

spose we changed the price from 2 to 4, we would expect to lose 150 dollars in profit per notebook sold. or something to that effect

Answer 29

if we change the price from 1 to 3 ... we would expect no change in profit, a slope of 0. why? becuase at 1 and 3 we have the same amount of profit.

Answer 30

So the final answer for all three parts would be
Part A: The x-intercepts represent the company "breaking even" and not earning any profit and the maximum value represents the most profit the company can make. For the increasing interval, you have less than or equal to 2 and for the decreasing intervals are greater than or equal to 2. This shows that as the price of notebooks being sold to the company increases, the overall profit increases for when they cost $2 or less and when the notebooks sold by the company cost more than $2, their profit decreases.

Part B: The domain for a profit of $220 is about 1 is greater than or equal to x is less than or equal to 3. This is because, looking at the graph, anything from those x-values corresponds to at least a y-value of 220.

Part C: Well at x=2, y=300 and at x=4, y= 0 so 300- 0 300
-------- = -------- = -150
2-4 -2
The rate of change between them represents the loss in profit we would expect per notebook for a $2 increase in price from $2 to $4.

Right?

Answer 31

that seems good to me, but im not grading it :)

Answer 32

Thank you so, so much!
