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?

Distance, or D(t) is expressed as a function of rate and time below:
Distance = Rate x Time

For the cheetah, we have D(t) as:
D(t) = 90ft/sec(t)

The problem asks for D(25):
D(25) = 90(25)
D(25) = 2,250 feet
