In September, Lee ran in the Run Rabbit Run 50 mile race in Steamboat. The race is an out-and-back course that runs from Steamboat Ski Resort to Rabbit Ears and back to Steamboat Ski Resort. The table below provides the timed splits through the various aid stations along the course. (a) List two different functions that can be formed from the data in the table. Be sure to specify the dependent and independent variables. (b) Name one way in which the data in the table is not a function. Explain. (c) Construct a graph that depicts the relationship between time and the total distance traveled in the race. (d) Construct a graph that depicts the relationship between time and displacement from start/finish (relative distance to start/finish). (e) Compare Lee’s average running speed from Dumont to Rabbit Ears and his average running speed from Rabbit Ears to Dumont.

In September, Lee ran in the Run Rabbit Run 50 mile race in Steamboat. The race is
an out-and-back course that runs from Steamboat Ski Resort to Rabbit Ears and back to
Steamboat Ski Resort. The table below provides the timed splits through the various aid
stations along the course.

(a) List two different functions that can be formed from the data in the table. Be sure to
specify the dependent and independent variables.
(b) Name one way in which the data in the table is not a function. Explain.
(c) Construct a graph that depicts the relationship between time and the total distance
traveled in the race.
(d) Construct a graph that depicts the relationship between time and displacement from
start/finish (relative distance to start/finish).
(e) Compare Lee’s average running speed from Dumont to Rabbit Ears and his average
running speed from Rabbit Ears to Dumont.
