Document Summary
5. 5 optimization problems - minimum distance: a power line is to be constructed from the shore of a lake to an island that is 500m away. The closest power line ends 4 km along the shore form the point on the shore closest to the island. His favourite pub is 3 km along the shore from the point on the shore closest to the island. The man can paddle his canoe at 3 km/h and can jog at 5 km/h. Determine where he should land so as to reach the pub in the shortest possible time: a sailing ship is 25 km due north of a drifting derelict vessel. 1 km from point closest to island, or 0. 1 km.
