Give me a moment its not pasting

anonymous · Answer

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? (6 points)

Part B: What is an approximate average rate of change of the graph from x = 1 to x = 4, and what does this rate represent? (4 points)

anonymous · Answer

I just don't understand what they're asking me to do.

arindameducationusc · Answer

maxima is the maximum profit of the company in that number of erasers

anonymous · Answer

So are they just asking what the graph is showing for the first part of the question? I don't understand the second part of the question whatsoever.

arindameducationusc · Answer

rate of change= dy/dx

arindameducationusc · Answer

in this case take out the points from the graph, x=1 and x=4

anonymous · Answer

Okay, then you just average it out, right?

270-90/4-1.
This will give you, dy/dx
