Jenny sets out at 7:00 am to go for a jog Jenny sets out at 7:00 am to go for a jog. The following graph shows her distance D(t) from home, in miles, as a function of time, t, in minutes, starting at 7:00 am.

Where was Jenny at 7:00 am? At 7 AM, Jenny was at home.

Approximately when was Jenny farthest from home? Jenny was farthest from home at 7:40

What is the farthest Jenny traveled from home? The furthest Jenny traveled from home was 3.5 miles

How far from home was Jenny at 8 AM? Jenny was 2.5 miles from home

For what value(s) of t does D(t) = 3 For what value(s) of t does D(t) = 3? Explain the meaning of your answers in context. t = 30 and 50. This means that Jenny is 3 miles away from home at 7:30 and 7:50

At what time did Jenny return home? Jenny returned home at 8:30 AM

Describe what Jenny might be doing between 7:10 and 7:20 am. Answers will vary

Thank you Group 1!

The following graph shows the temperature T(t) in degrees Celsius, at a certain crater on the planet Mercury, t minutes after sunrise

What was the temperature at sunrise? The temperature was -60 degrees

What is the value of T(8) and what does it represent in context? T(8) = 60. This means 8 minutes after sunrise it is 60 degrees

When was the temperature 30 degrees below 0? At about 2 minutes after sunrise, the temp was 30 degrees below 0

When did the temperature reach 0 degrees Celsius? Explain how you know. The temp reached 0 degrees after 4 minutes. This is known because it crosses the 0 line and becomes positive after this point.

It took 6 minutes to reach 30 degrees above 0 How long did it take after sunrise for the temperature to reach 30 degrees above 0? It took 6 minutes to reach 30 degrees above 0

Thank you Group 2!

Kaleo leans over and throws a ball straight upward from a rooftop Kaleo leans over and throws a ball straight upward from a rooftop. The following graph shows the height, h(t), of the ball, in feet, over time t, in seconds, beginning at the moment he released the ball

What is the value of h(0)? What does your answer mean in context? The value of h(0) is 50. This means the ball is dropped from 50 feet.

When did the ball reach its maximum height? The ball reached its maximum height after 1 second

What was the maximum height of the ball? The maximum height of the ball was 90 feet

For what value(s) of t does h(t) = 0 For what value(s) of t does h(t) = 0? Explain the meaning of your answer(s) in context. t = 2.5. This means that after 2.5 seconds the ball is on the ground.

Did the ball land back on the roof? Explain how you know. The ball did not land back on the roof because it landed on the ground. You can tell by the height.

Approximately when was the ball 80 feet above the ground? The ball is approximately 80 feet above the ground at 0.5 and 1.5 seconds

Thank you Group 3!

The graph above shows the fuel economy of Jackson’s car, in miles per gallon, as a function of the speed, in miles per hour, at which he drives

How many miles/gallon can Jackson expect if he drives 40 mph? He can expect 35 mpg if he drives 40 mph

If Jackson hopes to get at least 30 miles/gallon, what is the fastest he can drive? To get at least 30 mpg, the fastest Jackson can drive is 55 mph

Approximately how many miles/gallon can Jackson expect when driving 50 mph? Jackson can expect about 32 mpg if he drives 50 mph
