<span>From the pythagorean theorem, we know that x^2 and y^2 = 15^2, where x and y, where x is the base moving from the wall and y is the distance of the ladder sliding down. This means that y = sqrt(225 - x^2). Plugging in x = 13 gives us y = 2sqrt(14). Differentiating both sides of the original equations gives us dy/dt = 13 x 4 / 2sqrt(14) = 52/2sqrt(14) = 26/sqrt(14) ft/s.</span>
Answer:
6.7-(-2.5)=9.2 6.7+(-2.5)=4.2 Neither
2.5 + 6.7 6.7 - 2.5 2.5 - 6.7
-2.5 + 6.7 -2.5 - 6.7
-6.7 + 2.5
Hey!
-------------------------------------------------
If a chef bought 9 apples and each pie takes 2 apples then all we have to do is divide.
9 / 2 = 4.5
4 full pies can be made with 9 apples.
4 x 2 = 8 (apples were used to make 4 pies.)
9 - 8 = 1 (apple remaining)
If one pie needs 2 apples, subtract.
2 - 1 = 1 (pies the chef needs to make the last one)
-------------------------------------------------
Answer: The last pie would need 1 more apple.

Hope This Helped! Good Luck!
