8. Identify each curve. Explain your choices.
Here are the graphs of four functions. One repre- sents the position of a car as it travels, another represents the velocity of that car, a third repre- sents the acceleration of the car, and a fourth graph represents the jerk for that car.
Identify each curve. Explain your choices.

11. Using Derivative Patterns
MAT 145
Suppose s(x), shown below, represents an object’s position as it moves back and forth on a number line, with s measured in centimeters and x in seconds, for x > 0.
Calculate the object’s velocity and acceleration functions.
Is the object moving left or right at time x = 1? Justify.
Determine the object’s velocity and acceleration at time x = 2. Based on those results, describe everything you can about the object’s movement at that instant.
Write an equation for the tangent line to the graph of s at time x = 1.
