Question

A raft in an amusement park ride comes out of a tuner and heads straight toward a waterfall at a speed of 44 feet per second. The waterfall is 240 feet from the tunnel. What equation is a function rule that represents the distance of the raft to the waterfall?

Answer 1

Answer:

d = 240 - 44t

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance of the raft to the waterfall

The raft is heading for the waterfall, therefore, the distance between the raft and the waterfall is diminishing.

Waterfall=240 ft from the tunnel

Speed of the raft =44 ft per second

Therefore the equation of a function rule that represent the distance of the raft to the waterfall is:

d = 240 - 44t

Where t=time in seconds
