    The document calculates the average rate of change in profit when units sold increase from 70 to 140. It finds the average rate of change by taking the difference between the profits at 140 and 70 units and dividing by the difference in units. Plugging the profit function into the average rate of change formula and simplifying gives an average rate of change of approximately $206.79 per unit.

    Apologies for the mistake in my previous response.

    Let's calculate the correct answer for part d:

    To find the rate at which profit changes on average when the number of units sold rises from 70 to 140,
    we can calculate the average rate of change. The average rate of change is given by:

    Average rate of change = (Profit(140) - Profit(70)) / (140 - 70)

    Substituting the profit function:

    Average rate of change = (Profit(140) - Profit(70)) / (140 - 70) Average rate of change = [(-0.75(140)^2 +
    350(140) - 2500) - (-0.75(70)^2 + 350(70) - 2500)] / (140 - 70)

    Simplifying the equation:

    Average rate of change = (Profit(140) - Profit(70)) / (140 - 70) Average rate of change = (-0.75(19,600) +
    49,000 - 2500) - (-0.75(4,900) + 24,500 - 2500)] / 70 Average rate of change = (-14,700 + 49,000 - 2500) -
    (-3,675 + 24,500 - 2500)] / 70 Average rate of change = 32,800 - 18,325 / 70 Average rate of change =
    14,475 / 70 Average rate of change ≈ 206.79 dollars per unit

    Therefore, the correct answer for part d is that the rate at which profit changes on average when the
    number of units sold rises from 70 to 140 is approximately $206.79 per unit.
