Hi,
Annual profit in thousands of dollars is given by the function,
P(x) = 12x - 100,
where x is the number of items sold in thousands, x ≥ 10.
1.describe the meaning of the number 12 in the formula
As x increases by one, P(x) increases by 12
(that is: for every 1000 items sold, profit increases by $12,000)
