Janice is running a 7613 meter race. Assume the she runs at a constant speed of 287 meters per minute. Express the function f(t) that gives her distance from the finishing line t minutes after the start of the race.
To express the function f(t) that gives Janice's distance from the finishing line t minutes after the start of the race, we need to use the formula Distance = Speed × Time.
Given that Janice runs at a constant speed of 287 meters per minute, we can substitute this value into the formula to get:
Distance = 287 meters/minute × t minutes
So, the function f(t) can be written as:
f(t) = 287t
In this function, f(t) represents the distance from the finishing line, while t represents the time in minutes after the start of the race.
