Ornithologists have determined that some species of birds tend to avoid flights over large bodies of water during daylight hours. it is believed that more energy is required to fly over water than land because air generally rises over land and falls over water during the day. a bird with these tendencies is released from an island that is 6 km from the nearest point b on the shoreline, flies to a point c on the shoreline, and then flies along the shoreline to its nesting area d.
assume that the bird instinctively chooses a path that will minimize its energy expenditure. points b and d are 13 km apart. in general, if it takes 1.4 times as much energy to fly over water as it does over land, to what point c should the bird fly in order to minimize the total energy expended in returning to its nesting area?

The height of a flare fired from the deck of a ship in distress can be modeled by h(t)= -2(8t^2-52t-28), where h is the height of the flare above water and t is the time in seconds. a. find the time it takes the flare to hit the water.
