A cheetah travels at a rate of 90 feet per second.
The distance d traveled by the cheetah is a function of seconds traveled t. Write a rule for the function.
How far will the cheetah travel in 25 seconds?
d = distance
r = rate
t = time
distance = rate ∙ time
d = r t
How far will the cheetah travel in 25 seconds means t = 25 s
d = 90 ∙ 25 = 2250 ft

To write a rule for the function that represents the distance traveled by the cheetah, we can use the formula:
d = rt
Where:
d = distance traveled (in feet)
r = rate of travel (in feet per second)
t = time elapsed (in seconds)
Substituting the given values into the formula, we have:
d = 90t
Now, to find how far the cheetah will travel in 25 seconds, we can substitute t = 25 into the formula:
d = 90(25)
Calculating this expression, we get:
d = 2250
Therefore, the cheetah will travel 2250 feet in 25 seconds.
To write a rule for the function, we need to determine how the distance traveled by the cheetah relates to the seconds traveled.
Since the cheetah travels at a rate of 90 feet per second, the distance it covers is equal to the rate multiplied by the time taken:
d = 90t
Where d represents the distance and t represents the time in seconds.
To determine how far the cheetah will travel in 25 seconds, we substitute t = 25 into the equation:
d = 90 * 25
d = 2250 feet
Therefore, the cheetah will travel 2250 feet in 25 seconds.
