A 50km race started at 7:00 a.m. Four
runners A,B,C, & D finished the race
at 10:10am, 10:20am, 10:30am &
10:50am respectively. Assume tbat
the speeds of the runners were not
changing through the entire race.
Plot 4 curves on 4 different graphs for
the different runners showing the
situation.
Find the speeds of the four.
In a single graph show all the four
curves.
In a single graph show & find the
positions of the runners at 10am.
In a single graph show & find the
difference between the positions of
runners A and D at 9am.

Types of Charts :-
There are several different types of charts and graphs. The four most common are probably line graphs, bar graphs and histograms, pie charts, and Cartesian graphs. They are generally used for, and are best for, quite different things.
You would use:
¤ Bar graphs to show numbers that are independent of each other. Example data might include things like the number of people who preferred each of Chinese takeaways, Indian takeaways and fish and chips.
¤ Pie charts to show you how a whole is divided into different parts. You might, for example, want to show how a budget had been spent on different items in a particular year.
¤ Line graphs show you how numbers have changed over time. They are used when you have data that are connected, and to show trends, for example, average night-time temperature in each month of the year.
¤ Cartesian graphs have numbers on both axes, which therefore allow you to show how changes in one thing affect another. These are widely used in mathematics, and particularly in algebra.
