Question

Prompt

The function

f (x) = - x (x - 401)

, where

0 \leq x \leq 401

, gives the speed, in meters per second, of a particle

x

seconds after it started traveling. If the function

f

is graphed in the xy-plane, where

y = f (x)

, which statement is the best interpretation of the point

(1, 400)

on the graph?

The particle's speed was 400 meters per second 1 second after it started traveling.

The particle's initial speed was 400 meters per second when it started traveling.

The particle's speed was 1 meter per second 400 seconds after it started traveling.

The particle's speed increased by 400 meters per second each second after it started traveling.
