A car traveling at 46 mi/h slows to a speed of 23 mi/h in 5 seconds. It maintains that speed for 5 seconds and then slows to a stop after 5 more seconds. Which graph shows the car’s speed over time?

Respuesta :

For this case, the first thing you have to keep in mind is that we are in the presence of a piece function.
 We have then:
 For [0, 5]:
 
A car traveling at 46 mi / h slows to a speed of 23 mi / h in 5 seconds.
 For [5, 10]:
 
It maintains that speed for 5 seconds.
 For [10, 15]:
 
then slows to a stop after 5 more seconds.
 In this case:
 x axis: represents time
 y axis: represents the speed.
