Step 1
1) THe domain of v is
2) and
The conclusion is that the minimum requirement and the lowest possible amount are the same.
We will differentiate E with respect to v, then solve for the local minimum value.
The Quotient Rule for differentiation
E is minimized when

Step 1
Determine the value v that minimizes E.
Note that is undefined if . So
when
Step 2
Here, v = 0 is out of the domian because it implies that the fish is not swimming at all, so the onlycritical number is
22+64
