A max min problem 2012-02-26
From Christy:
Hello, I have no idea where to start with this question. Bob is at point B, 35 miles from A. Alice is in a boat in the sea at point C, 3 miles from the beach. Alice rows at 2 miles per hour and walks at 4.25 miles per hour, where along the beach should she land so that she may get to Bob in the least amount of time?
