Chapter 4, Problem 15P
A person at point A spots a child in trouble at point B across the river. The person can run at a speed of 8.6 ft/s and can swim at a speed of 3.9 ft/s. In order a to reach he child in the shortest time the person runs to point C and then swims to point B. as shown. Write a MATLAB program that determines the distance x w point C that minimizes the time the person can reach the child. In the program define a
