23. Time Required to Go from an Island to a Town An island is 2 miles from the nearest point P on a straight shoreline. A town is 12 miles down the shore from P. See the illustration.
(a) If a person can row a boat at an average speed of 3 miles per hour and the same person can walk 5 miles per hour, build a model that expresses the time T that it takes to go from the island to town as a function of the distance X from P to where the person lands the boat.
(b) What is the domain of Τ?
(c) How long will it take to travel from the island to town if the person lands the boat 4 miles from P?
(d) How long will it take if the person lands the boat 8 miles from Ρ?

- 2. (5 points) Let f(x) = = - - - x² − 3x+7. Find the local minimum and maximum point(s) of f(x), and write them in the form (a, b), specifying whether each point is a minimum or maximum. Coordinates should be kept in fractions. Additionally, provide in your answer if f(x) has an absolute minimum or maximum over its entire domain with their corresponding values. Otherwise, state that there is no absolute maximum or minimum. As a reminder, ∞ and -∞ are not considered absolute maxima and minima respectively.arrow_forwardLet h(x, y, z) = — In (x) — z y7-4z - y4 + 3x²z — e²xy ln(z) + 10y²z.
