The graph below shows a company's profit f(x), in dollars, depending on the price of pencils x, in dollars, being sold by the company: 200 + f(x) 160 120 80+ 40 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?
