The graph below shows a company's profit f(x), in dollars, depending on the price of pencils 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 = 2 to x = 5, and what does this rate represent?

Part C: Describe the constraints of the domain.

Answer 1

The average rate of the change from x = 2 to x = 5 is about 20 , The domain is constrained at x =0

What is a Function ?

A function is a mathematical statement used to derive a relation between a dependent variable and an independent variable.

A) The vertical axis of the graph shows a company's profit f(x), in dollars, depending on the price of pencils x, in dollars, sold by the company , i.e is the x axis .

So the x-intercepts represent prices of the pencil at which the profit is 0

and The maximum value of the graph represents the maximum profit that can be obtained for any price of the pencil.

The Profit is increasing from (x = 0 to 5) and starts decreasing from x =5 to 10

B) From the graph

(f(5) -f(2))/(5 -2) = (160-100)/3  = 20

The average rate of the change from x = 2 to x = 5 is about 20.

This indicates that the profit will increase at a an average rate of $20 for each $1 increase in price in that interval.

(C)The domain is constrained at x =0 as there it cannot be concluded that if the price is 0 , the profit will be 0 , and we are obligated to sell the pencil at x =6 , as the maximum profits are booked at that point.
