A computer chip manufacturer has determined the weekly demand of their product is given by the function, f(x) = x^2 + 6x + 6 (where f(x) is profit measured in dollars and x is measured in units sold) find the average rate of change as the number of units sold changes from x = 7 to x = 15. ALSO, find the equation of the line passing through the two points on the function. What does the average rate of change tell you in terms of this scenario?
