A boat on the ocean is 44 mi from the nearest point on a straight shoreline; that point is 1515 mi from a restaurant on the shore. A woman plans to row the boat straight to a point on the shore and then walk along the shore to the restaurant. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. A straight shoreline runs from left to right. A boat is 4 miles from a point on the shoreline. A restaurant is 15 miles to the right of that point. A dashed line segment extends from the boat and falls from left to right to a point on the shore between the nearest point on the shore and the restaurant. A dashed horizontal line segment extends from this point on the shore to the restaurant. 4 mi 15 mi a. If she walks at 3 mi/hr and rows at 2 mi/hr, at which point on the shore should she land to minimize the total travel time? Let x be the distance between the nearest point on shore and the point she lands on shore. If T is the time it takes her to get to the restaurant, what is the objective function?
