Answer: A) intercepts: zero profit; maximum: maximum profit. increasing: x < 4; decreasing x > 4
B) average slope: ≈50, about $50 increased profit for each $1 increase in price.
Step-by-step explanation:
A) The vertical axis of the graph represents profit, so the x-intercepts represent prices that produce zero profit. The maximum value of the graph is the maximum profit that can be obtained for any price.
The function is increasing for all prices below the one producing maximum profit (x < 4). The function is decreasing for all prices above the one producing maximum profit (x > 4). Obviously profit is increasing with price for x < 4, and is decreasing with price for x > 4.
__
B) We read the value of f(1) from the graph to be about 120, so the average rate of change is about ...
(f(4) -f(1))/(4 -1) = (270 -120)/(3) = 50
The average rate of change from x=1 to x=4 is about 50.* This means profit will increase on average $50 for each $1 increase in price in that interval.
_____
* If we take the peak profit to be $270, we can write f(x) as ...
f(x) = 16.875x(x -8)
Then f(1) = 118.125 and the average rate of change is 50.625. For the purpose here, we judge the extra precision to be pointless.
Step-by-step explanation:
Positive Slope
<em>TIP for finding what slope it is:</em>
<em>Positive </em>- the line is pointing right
<em>Negative</em> - the line is pointing left
<em>Undefined </em>- the line is pointing up and down
<em>Zero</em> - the line is point from left to right

- The slope of the graph of the function is equal to 0 for x between x = -3 and x = -2.
- The slope of the graph of the function is equal to 0 for x between x = 3 and x = 4.
- The greatest value of y is y = 4.
- The smallest value of y is y = -3.
<h3>How to complete the sentences?</h3>
By critically observing the graph shown in the image attached below, we can logically deduce that the slope of the graph of this function is equal to 0 for x, between x = -3 and x = -2.
Similarly, the slope of the graph of this function is also equal to 0 for x, between x = 3 and x = 4.
Based on the graph (see attachment), the greatest value of y is 4 while the smallest value of y is -3.
