A ladder 10 ft long leans against a vertical wall. If the lower end is being moved away from the wall at the rate of 6 ft/sec, how fast is the height of the top changing (this will be a negative rate) when the lower end is 6 feet from the wall?

-4.5ft per sec

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that vertical wall has a distance of y and the horizontal floor is x (6 ft).

This forms a triangle with the ladder as the hypothenus of length 10ft

We have dy/dt = 6ft per sec

According to Pythagoras law the relationship between x and y is

(x^2) + (y^2) = (hypothenus ^2) = 10^2

When we differentiate both sides of the equation

2x(dx/dt) + 2y(dy/dt) = 0

dy/dt = (x/y) * (dx/dt)

y= √(10^2) - (6^2) = 8ft

So dy/dt = (6/8)* (6/1)= -4.5 ft per sec

It is a negative rate

answer:

it is general formula that is used to write value to its excet position

a11 a12 a13

a21 a22 a23

it is the example of order 2 by 3 matrix in this

a11 means value occur in 1 st row 1st column

a12 means value occurs in 1st row 2nd column

a13 means value occur in 1st row and 3rd column

a21 means value occurs in 2nd row and 1st column

a22 means value occurs in 2nd row and in 2nd column

a23 means value occurs in 2nd row and in 3rd column
