Question 1
This question considers the optimal route between two points, separated by several regions where different speeds are possible.
Huw lives in a house, H , and he attends a school, S , where H and S are marked on the following diagram. The school is situated 1.2 km south and 4 km east of Huw's house. There is a boundary [MN], going from west to east, 0.4 km south of his house. The land north of [MN] is a field over which Huw runs at 15 kilometres per hour . The land south of [MN] is rough ground over which Huw walks at . The two regions are shown in the following diagram.

Question 1(b)
Huw realizes that his journey time could be reduced by taking a less direct route. He therefore defines a point P on [MN] that is east of M. Huw decides to run from H to P and then walk from P to S . Let T(x) represent the time, in hours, taken by Huw to complete the journey along this route.
Question 1(b)(iii)
Hence determine the value of x that minimizes T(x).
Question 1(b)(iv)
Find by how much Huw's journey time is reduced when he takes this optimal route, compared to travelling in a straight line from H to S . Give your answer correct to the nearest minute.
Question 1(c)
Question 1(c)(i)
Determine an expression for the derivative .
Question 1(c)(ii)
Hence show that T(x) is minimized when
