Question

Two friends decide to go on a four-hour ride on off-road vehicles through mountainous terrain. The graph represents their elevation (in hundreds of feet) as a function of time (in hours). The ride started 2,000 feet above sea level, so for the purposes of this problem, assume the x-axis represents an elevation of 2,000 feet.

Part A

Find the key features of the graph. That is, find the extrema, zeros, end behavior, increasing and decreasing intervals, and positive and negative intervals.

Part B

Interpret the key features from part A in the context of the problem.

Part C

Interpret the domain and the range of the function in the context of the problem.
