1. The problem asks us to analyze the graph of Jason's height above the ground during a Ferris wheel ride over time and determine which statements about the function are correct.
2. Statement A says: "The function is linear from about 60 to 64 seconds." A linear function means the graph should be a straight line segment in that interval.
3. Statement B says: "The function is increasing from about 70 to 72 seconds." An increasing function means the height should be going up as time increases in that interval.
4. From the graph description, the height oscillates in a wavy pattern, with peaks and valleys, indicating a periodic function rather than linear segments.
5. Around 60 to 64 seconds, the graph is part of a curve (not a straight line), so the function is not linear there. Therefore, Statement A is incorrect.
6. Around 70 to 72 seconds, the graph is moving upward from a valley to a peak, so the function is increasing in that interval. Therefore, Statement B is correct.
Final answer: Only Statement B is correct.
