*Graph Description:*
- The graph features two curves titled \( s = f(t) \) (blue curve) and \( s = g(t) \) (green curve).
- The horizontal axis represents time \( t \) measured in seconds, ranging from 0 to 5 seconds.
- The vertical axis represents position \( s \) measured in meters, ranging from -1 to 10 meters.
- Both curves start at the origin (0,0) and depict different rates of position change over time.
#### Questions:
1. **Which vehicle has traveled farther at \( t = 2 \) seconds?**
- ☐ Vehicle \( f \)
- ☐ Vehicle \( g \)
2. **What is the approximate velocity of the \( f \) vehicle at \( t = 3 \) seconds?**
- ☐ ______ meters per second
3. **What is the approximate velocity of the \( g \) vehicle at \( t = 3 \) seconds?**
- ☐ ______ meters per second
4. **Which vehicle is traveling faster at \( t = 4 \) seconds?**
- ☐ Vehicle \( f \)
- ☐ Vehicle \( g \)
### Explanation of Graph:
- At \( t = 2 \) seconds, compare the values of \( s \) on the blue and green curves.
- Approximate the slopes of both the \( f(t) \) and \( g(t) \) curves at \( t = 3 \) seconds to determine their velocities.
- At \( t = 4 \) seconds, visually observe the slope steepness of both curves to decide which vehicle is traveling faster.](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/78020af4-edac-45d4-a6db-c9f21dc2273f/0ec019ec-b996-4889-b515-b1ed8ef129b5/lofjd4q_thumbnail.png)
