It can be a function if it's horizontal because it's only touching each point once, it can't be a function for a vertical line because it's straight up and down and it'll hit every point
Answer:
y = -¼│x − 5│+ 3
Step-by-step explanation:
y = a│x − h│+ k
(h, k) is the vertex of the absolute value graph. In this case, it's (5, 3).
y = a│x − 5│+ 3
One point on the graph is (1, 2). Plug in to find the value of a.
2 = a│1 − 5│+ 3
2 = 4a + 3
a = -¼
Therefore, the graph is:
y = -¼│x − 5│+ 3
To determine the total distance traveled by an object in constant speed, just multiply the speed by the time. So, for the car, the total distance traveled is,
distance by car = (20 m/s)(5s) = 100 m
For decelerating object, the distance traveled is,
distance = Vt - (at^2)/2
For the truck,
distance by truck = (20 m/s)(10s) - (2m/s^2)((10s)^2)/2 = 100 m
Relatively, both have traveled the same distance.
