A bus is traveling between two cities that
are in neighboring states. The graph of
the function d(t) = 60|t − 1.25| shows the
distance of the bus in miles from the state line,
where t represents time in hours.
a. What does the graph tell you about the bus ride?
b. What is the average rate of change from 1.5 h to 2 h? What does the
average rate of change represent?

Answer:

(a). The bus decelerated to rest through 75 miles for 1.25 hours and accelerated through same distance for 1.25 hours.

b.

[tex]s _{1} = \frac{d _{1} }{t _{1} } \\ = \frac{15}{1.5} \\ s _{1} = 10 \: miles \: per \: hour \\ \\ s _{2} = \frac{d _{2} }{t _{2}} = \frac{45}{2} \\ = 22.5 \: miles \: per \: hour \\ average = \frac{22.5 + 10}{2} \\ = 16.25 \: miles \: per \: hour[/tex]
