Answer:
True statements are:
(i) The lane 2 turtle is faster than the lane 1 turtle.
(iv) The lane 1 turtle has a head start.
Explanation:
Now we proceed to check the value of truth for each choice:
(i) The lane 2 turtle is faster than the lane 1 turtle.
Speed of the turtle is the slope of the linear function, the greater the slope, the faster the turtle. Hence, the lane 2 turtle is faster than the lane 1 turtle. (Answer: TRUE)
(ii) At 3 seconds, the turtle in Lane 2 is 12 feet from start.
Let the position of the turtle in Lane 2 be represented by
. For
, then
. Hence, the turtle in Lane 2 is just 9 feet from the start. (Answer: FALSE)
(iii) At 12 seconds, the turtle in Lane 1 is 6 feet from the start.
Let the position of the turtle in Lane 1 be represented by
. For
, then
. Hence, the turtle is 12 feet from the start. (Answer: FALSE)
(iv) The lane 1 turtle has a head start.
According to graph, Lane 1 turtle starts at a position of 6 feet, whereas Lane 2 turtle start at a position of 0 feet. Hence, Lane 1 turtle has a head start. (Answer: TRUE)
