A traffic fanatic wants to estimate the maximum number of cars that can safely travel on a particular road at a given speed. She assumes that each car is 18 feet long, travels at speed s, and follows the car in front of it at a safe distance for that speed. She finds that the number N of cars that can pass a given spot per minute is modeled by the function N(s)

Arunner is jogging at a steady 3.6 km/hr. when the runner is 2.9 km from the finish line, a bird begins flying from the runner to the finish line at 14.4 km/hr (4 times as fast as the runner). when the bird reaches the finish line, it turns around and flies back to the runner. even though the bird is a dodo, we will assume that it occupies only one point in space, i.e., a zero-length bird. how far does the bird travel? (b) after this first encounter, the bird then turns around and flies from the runner back to the finish line, turns around again and flies back to the runner. the bird repeats the back and forth trips until the runner reaches the finish line. how far does the bird travel from the beginning? (i.e. include the distance traveled to the first encounter)
