A group of 55 bees are buzzing around on the sidewalk. Their movement can be represented by a function where ss is their placement on the sidewalk in feet and tt is the time at that moment in seconds. Their functions are: {s(t)=3t2+4t−5s(t)=4cos⁡(t)s(t)=e3t2s(t)=14t3s(t)=esin⁡t−2t\begin{cases} s(t)=3t^2+4t-5\\ s(t)=4\cos(t)\\ s(t)=e^{3t^2}\\ s(t)=\frac{1}{4t^3}\\ s(t)=e^{\sin t}-2^t \end{cases} After half a second, where could you place your foot in order to not step on a bee?
