I think this one was done by @ganeshie8

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

is 10 minutes relevant to the solution of the problem?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yea last night i worked on this.. .let me see if i can pull the notes up.. .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i might forgot lol

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

http://openstudy.com/users/unam#/updates/505c0b40e4b02e13940f8f6f lets continure from there

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

your T(x) looks wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what should i do for b...take the d/dx and then solve for x?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yep minimize T(x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok...i'll try

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

you should get x = c = 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's not right, plus my T(X) is right though :)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

let me check

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think T(x)={(9+x^2)^(1/2)}/4 +(11-x)/5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is correct @ganeshie8

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

ok go ahead :) which ever works.. :))

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah both are right :)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

it clearly says, distance between point P and where boat lands on the shore is x, so thats what troubling me. we should see \(\frac{x}{4}\) in the equation. hmm. lets digress from this and keep going wid the thing that makes sense to u @Unam

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks...
