    Jon is in the water. He is 500m away from the closest point on a straight shore. There is a house on the shore 1800m away from the same closest point. Jon can swim at a rate of 4m/s and run at a rate of 6m/s. Using the derivatives, find the path that Jon should travel to arrive at the house in the shortest amount of time.
