Xp = 300 + 70 t (Prey location)
Xc = 90 t (Cheetah location)
t is in seonds and the X's are in feet.
The prey will be caught when Xp = Xc
300 + 70 t = 90 t
20 t = 300
Solve for t
Xc = 90 t (Cheetah location)
t is in seonds and the X's are in feet.
The prey will be caught when Xp = Xc
300 + 70 t = 90 t
20 t = 300
Solve for t
