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?
