Question

a flock of geese is approaching a photographer, flying in formation. The photographer starts taking photographs when the lead goose is 200 feet horizontally from her, and continues taking photographs until it is 100 feet past. The flock is flying at a steady 20 feet per second. Enter and solve an equation to find the times after the photographing begins that the lead goose is at a horizontal distance of 30 feet from the photographer.The equation is d(t)= _____The lead goose is at a horizontal distance of 30 feet from the photographer after ____ seconds and again after ____ seconds.

Answer 1

The flock is flying at a rate of 20 feet per second. The photos start at 200 feet distance, therefore:

`d(t)=200-20\cdot t`
