Question

The graph below shows Roy's distance from his office (y), in miles, after a certain amount of time (x), in minutes: Graph titled Roys Distance Vs Time shows 0 to 10 on x and y axes at increments of 1.The label on x axis is time in minutes and that on y axis is Distance from Office in miles. Lines are joined at the ordered pairs 0, 0 and 1, 1 and 2, 2 and 3, 3 and 4, 4 and 5, 4 and 6, 4 and 7, 4.5 and 7.5, 5 and 8, 6. Four students described Roy's motion, as shown in the table below: Student Description Peter He drives a car at a constant speed for 4 minutes, then stops at a crossing for 6 minutes, and finally drives at a variable speed for the next 2 minutes. Shane He drives a car at a constant speed for 4 minutes, then stops at a crossing for 2 minutes, and finally drives at a variable speed for the next 8 minutes. Jamie He drives a car at a constant speed for 4 minutes, then stops at a crossing for 6 minutes, and finally drives at a variable speed for the next 8 minutes. Felix He drives a car at a constant speed for 4 minutes, then stops at a crossing for 2 minutes, and finally drives at a variable speed for the next 2 minutes. Which student most accurately described Roy's motion? Peter Shane Jamie Felix

Answer 1

Answer:

Felix

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph contains 3 segments,

first one is for the first 4minutes,

second one is for the next 2 minutes (standing still)

third one is for the last 2 minutes.

Only Felix has it right, the other students use absolute time in their statements, in stead of the difference between start and end. (e.g., from 4 to 6 is 2 minutes).

Answer 2

The student that most accurately described Roy's motion is Felix.

How to find the function which was used to make graph?

There are many tools we can use to find the information of the relation which was used to form the graph.

A graph contains data of which input maps to which output.

Analysis of this leads to the relations which were used to make it.

We need to find the student that most accurately described Roy's motion.

Here we can see that the graph contains 3 segments, first one is for the first 4 minutes, Second one is for the next 2 minutes (standing still) and the third one is for the last 2 minutes.

Now, Only Felix has it right, the other students use absolute time in their statements, in stead of the difference between start and end.

Therefore, the student that most accurately described Roy's motion is Felix.
