Question

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

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?

I am not sure of this. So I will tag @ganeshie8.
As I think the x-intercepts shows where there is no profit to the company. The maximum shows the optimum profit the company can gain by selling a certain no. of erasers. The function increases in the range x<4 and decreases when x>4.

X-intercepts represent when the sales either started making profit (going upwards after the point), or started losing profit (going downwards after). The maximum value represents the highest profit obtained before it started to drop. The function is increasing as long as the slope is positive, meaning the line goes upwards as it moves to the right, and vice versa. Increasing means that the profit is increasing, and similarly decreasing means it is decreasing.
