In other words the price per unit of the comodity decreases. The seller also makes a profit when he sells some items in bulk numbers as the seller sells in large quantities.
The maximum number of turning points in a cubic function is 2.
In this case,
The discriminant is , which means the derivative has no real roots. This means there are no critical points and thus no turning points/relative extrema.
