Question

Nala is escaping from the dragon's lair! She is running toward the entrance of the lair at a speed of 9.2 meters per second. The entrance is 180 meters away. The distance (

d. between Nala and the entrance of the lair is a function of (t), the time in seconds since Nala began running. Write the functions formula.

Answer 1

d= -9.2t + 180

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer: The function formula is
`d(t) = 19.56t`

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Speed of her running towards the entrance of the lair = 9.2 meters per second

Distance between Nala and the entrance = 180 meters

Let d be the distance between Nala and the entrance .

Let t be the time in seconds.

We need to find the distance d in terms of time of 't'.

First we find the speed:

`Speed=(Distance)/(Time)=(180)/(9.2)=19.56\ m\sec`

So, the function formula would be

Distance = Speed × Time

`d(t) = 19.56t`
