This will generate a line quickly dropping from left to right, with an x-intercept of 0.4 and a y-intercept of 2.
See the attached image for the actual graph.
Domain: (-1, 5)
Range: (-1, 3)
Explanation:
The domain covers the lowest and highest x value. You take the lowest number for the x and the highest number and that’s your domain. The range is covering y values, so you look at the lowest and highest point on your graph
The average speed of an object moving is its rate of change per time interval. It is equal to the total distance traveled divided by the total time it takes to travel that distance. We calculate the average speed of the olympic record as follows:
The units of the average speed should be miles per hour so we need to convert the distances in to miles and time into units of hours.
distance 1= <span>26 mi
distance 2 = 385 yd ( 1 mile / 1760 yd ) = 0.21875 mi
total distance = 26 + 0.21875 = 26.21875 mi
time 1 = 2 h
time 2 = 9 min ( 1 h / 60 min ) = 0.15 h
time 3 = 21 s ( 1 h / 3600 s ) = 0.0058 h
total time = 2 + 0.15 + 0.0058 = 2.1558 h
average speed = total distance / total time = 26.21875 mi / 2.1558 hr = 12.1620 mi / h</span>
