The ladder and the outside wall form a right triangle

The length of the ladder is 97.8 feet

<h3>How to determine the length of the ladder?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Distance (B) = 22 feet

Angle of elevation (θ) = 77 degrees

The length (L) of the ladder is calculated using the following cosine ratio

cos(θ) = B/L

So, we have:

cos(77) = 22/L

Make L the subject

L = 22/cos(77)

Evaluate the product

L = 97.8

Hence, the length of the ladder is 97.8 feet

The slope of the tangent line to the curve x^3y+y^2-x^2=5 at the point (2,1) is
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

-4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of the tangent to the equation at any point we must differentiate the equation.

x^3y+y^2-x^2=5

3x^2y+x^3y'+2yy'-2x=0

Gather terms with y' on one side and terms without on opposing side.

x^3y'+2yy'=2x-3x^2y

Factor left side

y'(x^3+2y)=2x-3x^2y

Divide both sides by (x^3+2y)

y'=(2x-3x^2y)/(x^3+2y)

y' is the slope any tangent to the given equation at point (x,y).

Plug in (2,1):

y'=(2(2)-3(2)^2(1))/((2)^3+2(1))

Simplify:

y'=(4-12)/(8+2)

y'=-8/10

y'=-4/5
