Carsyn, Jase, Maxwell, and Oliver are competing in a 50-yard race. Each of the younger racers gets a head start to make the race fair. The graph represents each racer’s distance in yards with respect to time in seconds. Use the graph to determine after how many seconds Carsyn, Jase, and Oliver will all be the same distance from the finish line.

Question

(1 point)
Carsyn, Jase, and Oliver will all be the same distance from the finish line after
seconds.

Answer 1

To accurately determine when Carsyn, Jase, and Oliver will all be the same distance from the finish line, I would need to analyze the graph you mentioned. Since I can't view the graph, I can guide you through the process of how you might find that information.

1. Identify the finish line: Note that the finish line is at 50 yards.

2. Read distances at specific times: Look at the graph and note the distances of Carsyn, Jase, and Oliver at different seconds.

3. Find the same distance from the finish line: For each racer, calculate how far they are from the finish line (50 yards - distance traveled).

4. Check for convergence: Identify at which time all three racers have the same value for their distance from the finish line.

If you can share specific values or descriptions from the graph, I could help calculate or reason through the specific time when they are at the same distance from the finish line.
