The graph below shows a company's profit f(x), in dollars, depending on the price of pens x, in dollars, 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: What is an approximate average rate of change of the graph from x = 3 to x = 5, and what does this rate represent?

Answer:

Answer explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

A. 

The x-intercepts represent a zero profit and the maximum value of the graph represents the maximum profit.

The function increases up till the vertex and decreases after it which means that the profit increases as it reaches the peak at the vertex

and decreases after the vertex up till it reaches zero. The profits are negative on the left of the first zero and on the right of the second zero. 

B. 

An approximate average rate of change of the graph from x = 3 to x = 5 represents the reduction in profit from 3 to 5 .

C. 

Simply, the domain is constrained by x = 0 .

We are obliged at x = 6 .

This is because we have to avoid a negative profit.

SI=(P*R*T)/100

P=2000

R=1.5

T=6

SI=(2000*1.5*6)/100

=(2000*9)/100

=180

Answer: 440 grams for 1.54 is the better value
Explanation:
Take the price and divide by the number of grams
1.54 / 440 =0.0035 per gram
1.26 / 340 =0.003705882 per gram
0.0035 per gram < 0.003705882 per gram
