Problem 3

A cyclist leaves their home for a 33-hour ride to a park on a Saturday morning at 88 A.M. The park is 99 miles away from their home. On a Monday morning, they cycle back home from the park, starting at 88 A.M. and taking the same 33 hours. Let p(t)p(t) be the cyclist's distance from home tt hours after 88 A.M. on Saturday, and q(t)q(t) be the distance from home tt hours after 88 A.M. on Monday. If r(t)=p(t)q(t)r(t) = p(t) - q(t), what are r(0)r(0) and r(3)r(3)?
