Sketch a graph representing the following:

Andrea, Marcus and Alfie race each other. Andrea starts off sprinting, then slows down over the course of the rest of the race. Marcus runs at a steady pace throughout. Alfie starts off jogging then continuously speeds up throughout the race.

Andrea should be represented by something that looks like a radical function. Marcus should be represented using a straight line with a positive slope. Alfie should be represented using something like an exponential function.

Cecil's drive to visit his grandparents is graphed with the x-axis representing the time since Cecil left his house in hours and the y-axis representing the distance he has traveled in minutes. What would it mean if the graph had a slope of 25 from 0<x<1, then a slope of 50 from 1<x<2.5?

Cecil drove on local roads for an hour, going 25 mph, then probably got on a highway and sped up to 50 mph.
