Question: Distance Function f computes the distance y in miles between a car and the city of Omaha after x hours, where 0 x

Distance Function f computes the distance y in miles between a car and the city of Omaha after x hours, where 0 ≤ x ≤ 6. The graphs of f and the horizontal lines y = 100 and y = 200 are shown in the figure below. 


(a) Is the car moving toward or away from Omaha? Explain. 


(b) Determine the times when the car is 100 miles and 200 miles from Omaha. 


(c) Determine when the car is from 100 to 200 miles from Omaha. 


(d) When is the car's distance from Omaha greater than 100 miles?Distance (miles) 350 300 250 200 150 100 50 y = f(x)
