Question

The turtle's distance from the point is increasing for blank seconds. Between 10 and 12 seconds, the turtle's distance is blank. Between 12 and 14 seconds, the turtle is ________.

A) decreasing, constant, moving away
B) increasing, increasing, moving closer
C) constant, decreasing, moving away
D) increasing, constant, moving closer

Answer 1

The turtle's distance is increasing between 10 and 12 seconds, and it is constant between 12 and 14 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is D) increasing, constant, moving closer.

Between 10 and 12 seconds, the turtle's distance is increasing, which means the turtle is moving closer to the point. The velocity during this time period is increasing.

Between 12 and 14 seconds, the turtle's distance is constant, which means the turtle is not moving away or getting closer to the point. The velocity during this time period is constant.
