1. Problem Description

The function ff represents the distance of a dog from a post in feet as a function of time in seconds since its owner left. We need to find the values of f(20)f(20) and f(140)f(140) using the given graph.

2. Solution Steps

To find f(20)f(20), we locate 20 on the x-axis (time in seconds) and find the corresponding y-value (distance from the post in feet) on the graph. From the graph, at t=20t=20, the distance is approximately f(20)=1.5f(20) = 1.5 feet.
To find f(140)f(140), we locate 140 on the x-axis and find the corresponding y-value on the graph. From the graph, at t=140t=140, the distance is approximately f(140)=4f(140) = 4 feet.

3. Final Answer

f(20)=1.5f(20) = 1.5
f(140)=4f(140) = 4
