Question

The Vanderbloom family already traveled 200 miles on their vacation. The total distance that they will travel (d) is a function of their rate of travel (r) and their upcoming travel time (t).

Answer 1

See explanation

Explanation:

The question is incomplete. However, I'll ask and answer possible questions that emanate from the given parameter.

A possible question is: Write the given information as a function of distance.

We have that;

`Base\ Distance = 200`

`Time = t`

`Rate = r`

The function would be calculated as:

Base Distance + Rate * Time

Substitute values for Base Distance, Rate and Time

This gives:

`200 + r * t`

`200 + rt`

Hence;

`Distance = 200 + rt`

Another possible question is to determine the current distance travelled by the family at a rate of 80 miles per hour for 3 hours.

Here, we have:

`r = 80`

`t = 3`

Substitute these values in
`Function = 200 + rt`

`Distance = 200 + 80 * 3`

`Distance = 200 + 240`

`Distance = 440`
