UNIT 4
14. The Sandia Peak Tramway in
Albuquerque, New Mexico, travels a
distance of about 4500 meters to the top
of Sandia Peak. Its speed is 300 meters
per minute as it travels to the peak. The
distance from the peak can be modeled by
the equation: f(x) = 4500-300x
What does the rate of change represent in
this scenario?
a). The Tramway's speed of 300 meters
per minute as it travels to the peak
b). The starting distance from the peak of
4500 meters
c). It takes 15 minutes to travel to the peak
d). The total distance traveled.
