Write the distance between the bicycle and the car as a function of time and then find the time when the distance between the bicycle and the car is a minimum. verify that this time does give a minimum distance and find this minimum distance ( hint: after x seconds the cyclist has ridden 8x meters and the car has driven 18x meters.)
