Please help! The solutions I've tried that do not work are 1.00 and 0.844.
A man is in a boat 2 miles from the nearest point on the coast. He is to go to point Q, located 3 miles down the coast and 1 mile inland (see figure). He can row at a rate of 1 mile per hour and walk at 3 miles per hour. Toward what point on the coast should he row in order to reach point Q in the least time? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) 0.84 mile(s) down the coast
