The distance a car travels before coming to a stop once a driver hits the brakes
is related to the speed of the car when the brakes were applied. The graph of f
(shown below) is a model of the stopping distance (in feet) of a car traveling
at diffe

Question 1
1.
One data point on the graph of f appears to be (80, 1000). What do you think
this point represents in the context of this problem? Explain your reasoning.
Question 2
2.
Estimate the stopping distance of the car if the driver is traveling at 65 mph
when she hits the brakes. Explain how you got your answer
Question 3
3.
Estimate the average rate of change of f between x = 50 and x = 60. What is the
meaning of the rate of change in the context of this problem?
Question 4
4.
What information would help you make a better prediction about stopping distance
and average rate of change for this situation?
