Traffic Accidents The following table shows the cost C of traffic accidents. in cents per vehicle-mile, as a function of vehicular speed s, in miles per hour, for commercial vehicles driving at night on urban streets. Speed s 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 Cost C 1.3 0.4 0.1 0.3 0.9 2.2 5.8 The rate of vehicular involvement in traffic accidents per vehicle-mile can be modeled as a quadratic function of vehicular speed s, and the cost per vehicular involvement is roughly a linear function of s, so we expect that C the product of these two functions can be modeled as a cubic function of s. a.
