A piecewise linear function consisting of three parts is plotted in quadrant 1 of a coordinate plane. The x-axis is labeled Time in minutes, and the y-axis is labeled Distance in miles.
Christian went on a run. He jogged for five minutes, then increased his rate to a faster constant pace for seven minutes. He then took a rest for four minutes. During what time interval has Christian traveled 1.5 miles?

Christian traveled 1.5 miles from
≤t≤
Let's break down the different parts of Christian's run to find the time interval in which he traveled 1.5 miles.
1. Christian jogged for five minutes: During this time, he did not cover a distance of 1.5 miles.
2. Christian increased his rate for seven minutes: During this time, he traveled a distance greater than 1.5 miles. However, we don't know the exact distance without further information.
3. Christian took a rest for four minutes: During this time, he did not cover a distance of 1.5 miles.
Based on the information given, Christian did not cover a distance of 1.5 miles during any specific time interval.
