Answer 1

The rule for the function is:

d(t) = 90t

This means that the distance traveled (d) is equal to the rate (90 feet per second) multiplied by the time (t) in seconds.

To find how far the cheetah will travel in 25 seconds, we can substitute t = 25 into the function:

d(25) = 90(25)
d(25) = 2250 feet

Therefore, the cheetah will travel 2250 feet in 25 seconds.
