16. Example
Tell which graph corresponds to the situation described in Example 1: Try This 1.
A. Jamie begins the race, and soon feels a pain in a muscle. He is unable to complete the race.
Graph 2—Jamie is unable to complete the race, so his speed decreases to zero.

17. Example
Tell which graph corresponds to the situation described in Example 1: Try This 1.
B. Melissa builds up her speed during the beginning of the race. She maintains her running speed for the remainder of the race.
Graph 1—Melissa’s speed increases at the beginning and then the graph remains constant.
