Consider the function \[ f(x) = [x + 2] \] defined on the domain \(\mathop{\mathrm{Dom}}(f) = (1;2)\). Find the parameters \(a\) and \(b\) in the linear function \[ g(x) = ax + b \] which ensure that the functions \(f\) and \(g\) are identical on the domain of \(f\). \[ \] Hint: The function \(y = [x]\) is a floor function: the largest integer less than or equal to \(x\). For positive \(x\) it is also called the integer part of \(x\).

Jane has to reach the opposite shore of a lake. She has three possibilities how to cross. She can use her own boat, start immediately and sail at the velocity \(4\, \mathrm{km}/\mathrm{h}\). Another option is to wait for her friend, Peter, with a faster boat. Peter's boat is capable to sail at the velocity \(10\, \mathrm{km}/\mathrm{h}\). However, his boat will be available in \(1.5\) hours from now. The last option is to use the regular passenger transportation line which will departure in \(2.25\) hours from now and sails at the speed \(20\, \mathrm{km}/\mathrm{h}\). Find the interval of distances to the opposite shore for which the fastest option is to use Peter's boat.
