Example problem
Predict the maximum value of the function : y(x) = 3cos(4 x-1.3)+5cos(2x+0.5)
4 x 1.3 = 2n
2 x + 0.5 = 2k, let n,k are integers. =
2.3 2(2)
23 20(2)
As is a irrational number, so there are no integers n,k. So ymax(x) < 8 And ymax(x) = 5.7811

There would be a critical value of n for which either of the pure walk-only and swim-only strategies would give a minimum travel time What is that critical value of n? As n increases from unity the strategy for minimizing the total travel time begins as the pure strategy of swimming all the way and then switches to the pure strategy of walking all the way. Is that true for any value of ?
