In the article Do Dogs Know Calculus?" the author Timothy Pennings explained how he noticed that when he threw a ball diagonally into Lake Michigan along a straight shoreline, his dog Elvis seemed to pick the optimal point in which to enter the water so as to minimize his time to reach the ball, as in the figure. He timed the dog and found Elvis could run at on the sand and swim at If Tim stood at point A and threw the ball to a point in the water, which was a perpendicular distance m from point on the shore, where is a distance m from where he stood, at what distance from point did Elvis enter the water if the dog effectively minimized his time to reach the ball?
