The sales of print books increased about $7 \%$ from 2012 to $2014 .$ The sales data over the years 2008 to 2014 are modeled by the cubic function $$\begin{aligned} s(x)=& 4.958 x^{3}-38.125 x^{2} \\ &+26.417 x+778 \end{aligned}$$ where $x$ is the number of years after 2008 and $s(x)$ is the number of print books, in millions.
