A polar bear moves in a straight line to a food source and its path can be modelled by the equation \(s = 10t - t^2\) where \(s\) m is the distance from the nest at time \(t\) s.
The polar bear collects the food and then returns to its original location.
Use the model from departure at \(t=0\) until the first return to the nest. It is not a nonnegative distance-from-nest model beyond that journey.
