The interval of interest of the objective function is ..... (Simplify your answer. Type your answer in interval notation.) To minimize the total travel time, the boat should land .... miles from the restaurant. b. If she walks at 3 mi/hr, find the minimum speed at which she must row so that the quickest way to the restaurant is to row directly (with no walking)? (Type an exact answer, using radicals as needed.) The minimum speed she must row is ... mi/hr. (Type an exact answer, using radicals as needed.)
