The rate at which the area of the triangle is changing when the base of the ladder is 9 ft from the wall will be the negative 8/3.

<h3>What is differentiation?</h3>

The rate of change of a function with respect to the variable is called differentiation. It can be increasing or decreasing.

A 15-foot ladder is leaning against a wall of a house.

The base of the ladder is pulled away from the wall at a rate of 2ft/sec.

Then the equation will be

x² + y² = 15²

x² + y² = 225

Differentiate with respect to time. Then we have

2x (2) + 2yy' = 0

y' = -2x / y

Then the rate at which the area of the triangle is changing when the base of the ladder is 9 ft from the wall will be

Then the value of x will be

x² + 9² = 15²

x² + 81 = 225

      x² = 144

        x = 12 ft

Then the rate will be

y' = -2x / y

y' = – 2 × 12 / 9

y' = – 8/3

More about the differentiation link is given below.

For each of these problems, remember SOH-CAH-TOA.

Sine = opposite/hypotenuse

Cosine = adjacent/hypotenuse

Tangent = opposite/adjacent

5) Here we are looking for the cosine of the 30 degree angle. Cosine uses the adjacent side to the angle over the hypotenuse. Therefore, cos(30) = 43/50.

6) We have an unknown side length, of which is adjacent to 22 degrees, and the length of the hypotenuse. Since we know the adjacent side and the hypotenuse, we should use Cosine. Therefore, our equation to find the missing side length is cos(22) = x / 15.

7) When finding an angle, we always use the inverse of the trigonometry function we originally used. Therefore, if sin(A) = 12/15, then the inverse of that would be sin^-1 (12/15) = A.

8) We are again using an inverse trigonometry function here. We know the hypotenuse, as well as the side adjacent to the angle. Therefore, we should use the inverse cosine function. Using the inverse cosine function gives us cos^-1 (9/13) = 46 degrees.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

<h3>             C.    y + 7 = -7(x - 3)</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line is:

                          y - y₀ = m(x - x₀)

where <em>m</em> is the slope and <em>(x₀, y₀)</em> is the point which the line passes through

The product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is  -1

so if given lines slope is ¹/₇ them:

     ¹/₇·m = -1

        m = -7

(3, -7)     ⇒    x₀ = 3,  y₀ = -7

Therefore:

               y - (-7) = -7(x - 3)

                <u> </u><u>y + 7 = -7(x - 3) </u>
