Question

Anita and Susanna are in a 5-mile bike race. The graph shows each racers distance from the start as a function of time. What could describe Anita's race from minute 3 to minute 5

Answer 1

Answer:

The best could describe Anita's race from minute 3 to minute 5, She was standing, not moving, she could have been in an accident.

Step-by-step explanation:

See the attached figure.

As shown in the figure, we can note that the distance from minute 3 to minute 5 is constant which is equal to the distance at minute 3.

So, the average distance from minute 3 to minute 5 will be zero and hence the speed of Anita will be zero

So, From minute 3 to minute 5, She was standing, not moving.

Note: speed of Anita from minute 3 to minute 5

= ( distance difference) / (time difference) = zero / (5-3) = 0/2 = 0
