Question
Distance Function $f$ computes the distance $y$ in miles between a car and the city of Omaha after $x$ hours, where $0 \leq x \leq 6 .$ The graphs of $f$ and the horizontal lines $y=100$ and $y=200$ are shown in the figure.(a) Is the car moving toward or away from Omaha? Explain.(b) Determine the times when the car is 100 miles and 200 miles from Omaha.(c) Determine when the car is from 100 to 200 miles from Omaha.(d) When is the car's distance from Omaha greater than 100 miles?
Step 1
We can determine this by looking at the graph of the distance function $f$. As time progresses, the distance from Omaha increases. This means that the car is moving away from Omaha. So, the answer to part (a) is that the car is moving away from Omaha. Show more…

Distance between Cars Cars A and B are both traveling in the same direction. Their distances in miles north of St. Louis after $x$ hours are computed by the functions $f_{A}$ and $f_{B}$ respectively. The graphs of $f_{A}$ and $f_{B}$ are shown in the figure for $0 \leq x \leq 10$ (a) Which car is traveling faster? Explain. (b) How many hours elapse before the two cars are the same distance from St. Louis? How far are they from St. Louis when this occurs? (c) During what time interval is car $\mathbf{B}$ farther from $\mathbf{S t}$. Louis than car A?
