Recap
Find the graph of the function
A toy car travels around a circular track as shown in the
figure. As the toy car travels around the track, its distance
from the wall can be modeled by a graph where the 𝑦-
axis represents the distance between the car and the wall,
and the 𝑥-axis represents time. Which of the following
graphs models this relationship as the car goes around
the track three times without stopping?
Obtain information from the graph
