Helppp?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The graph below shows the distance (y) in kilometers of two cars from their destination at different times (x) in minutes. The table shows the values plotted on the graph.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Time (in minutes) x 0 10 20 30 40 50 Car 1 (in km) y 50 40 30 20 10 0 Car 2 (in km) y 50 40.85365 33.3804 27.2742 22.285 18.2085

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Part A: What does the x-intercept of the function for car 1 represent? (2 points) Part B: What does the y-intercept of the function for car 2 represent? (2 points) Part C: What is the domain of the functions for car 1 and car 2? (2 points) Part D: What is the average rate of change from x = 20 to x = 40 for the function representing the motion for car 2? What does the value of this average rate of change represent? (4 points)

@phi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just tell me if you don't get it

OpenStudy (phi):

The graph below shows the distance (y) in kilometers of two cars from their destination boil it down to "distance from their destination" to answer part A Part A: What does the x-intercept of the function for car 1 represent? any idea ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the time?

OpenStudy (phi):

the time to reach its destination

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then wouldn't part B be the distance the car goes

OpenStudy (phi):

Part B. the y-intercept is the distance at time 0. So it is the distance the car is from its destination. or the distance it has to go to reach its destination.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okaay, part c has me a little confused

OpenStudy (phi):

the domain is the x values

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhh alright :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know how to do part d i'm pretty sure

OpenStudy (phi):

I would say the positive real numbers... but the graph shows a line for negative x values... so they may want all real numbers?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wouldn't the domain be 0,10,20,30,40,50 though?

OpenStudy (phi):

you could try that for an answer, but they may want all real numbers...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'll try it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

please help with pard D a bit confused here

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which table shows that each time x changes by 4, y changes by 4?
