Minimizing Time A man stands at a point A on the bank of a straight river, 2 mi wide. To reach point B, 7 mi downstream on the opposite bank, he first rows his boat to point Pon the opposite bank and then walks the remaining distances x to B, as shown in the figure. He can row at a speed or 2 mi/h and walk as a speed of mi/h (a) Find a function that models the time needed for the trip. (b) Where should he land so that he reaches B as soon as possible?
