   - What happens to the critical shore point if you swim faster?   - What happens to the critical shore point if you swim faster?
   - What happens if you change this situation? Suppose it's a sea lion in the water trying to get to the bike! Reverse your original speeds—Make the swim speed 9 m/s and the run speed 2 m/s. What is the new shore point for the fastest travel time now?   - What happens if you change this situation? Suppose it's a sea lion in the water trying to get to the bike!

-  - Use the accompanying picture to help answer this question. The distance from the shoreline to the swimmer (a) is 65 m. The distance from the shoreline to the bike (b) is 83 m. The sum of (x) and (y) is 135 m. The person can swim at 1.56 m/s and can run at 8.75 m/s. Solve for (x) to produce the shortest time possible to get your starting point in the water to your bike.+  - Use the accompanying picture ​below to help answer this question.
