### Statement
−$1.4.18^*.$ A boy who can swim at half the speed of a river wants to swim across the river so that he is not carried downstream as much as possible. At what angle to the shore should he swim? How far will it go if the river is $200$ m wide?

During time $t$ it will be carried along the coast by an amount
−$$ L = v_xt = H\frac{2 - \cos\alpha}{\sin\alpha}\quad(1) $$
+$$ L = v_xt = H\frac{2 - \cos\alpha}{\sin\alpha}\tag{1} $$
To find the minimum of $L$, it is necessary to find the extremum of the function $f(\alpha ) = \frac{2 - \cos\alpha}{\sin\alpha}$ on the interval $\alpha\in (0,\pi )$
