A 15-ft ladder rests against a vertical wall. If the top of the ladder slides down the wall at a rate of 0.33 ft/sec, how fast,

in ft/sec, is the bottom of the ladder sliding away from the wall, at the instant when the bottom of the ladder is 9 ft from the wall? Answer with 2 decimal places. Type your answer in the space below. If your answer is a number less than 1, place a leading "0" before the decimal point (ex: 0.35)

Answer:

0.44 ft/sec.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A is the bottom of the ladder and AB is the distance from the bottom of the wall i.e. B is the bottom of the wall. If C is the top of the ladder and BC is the height of the wall.

Now, Δ ABC is a right triangle and AC is the length of the ladder i.e. hypotenuse.

Now, AC² = AB² + BC² {From Pythagoras Theorem}

Now, differentiating both sides with respect to time t, we get

0 = 2 \times (AB) \times \frac{d(AB)}{dt} +  2 \times (BC) \times \frac{d(BC)}{dt}

⇒  \frac{d(AB)}{dt} = - \frac{BC}{AB} \times  \frac{d(BC)}{dt}

Now, given that \frac{d(BC)}{dt} = - 0.33 feet/sec.

Hence, \frac{d(AB)}{dt} = - \frac{BC}{AB} \times  (- 0.33) ......... (1)

Now, given that AB = 9 ft. and AC = 15 ft.

So, 15² = 9² + BC²  

⇒ BC² = 144

⇒ BC = 12 feet.

Now, from equation (1), we get

\frac{d(AB)}{dt} = - \frac{12}{9} \times  (- 0.33) = 0.44

Therefore, the bottom of the ladder is sliding away from the wall at the rate of 0.44 ft/sec. (Answer)

The solution to the system of inequalities given is: \frac{4}{3} \leq y \leq 4

<h3>What is the solutions to a system of inequalities?</h3>

The solution is the set of values that respect all conditions of the system.

The first condition is:

3y - 13 \geq -9

3y \geq 4

y \geq \frac{4}{3}

The second condition is:

3y - 13 \leq -1

3y \leq 12

y \leq \frac{12}{3}

y \leq 4

The intersection of the conditions, which is the solution to the inequality, is:

\frac{4}{3} \leq y \leq 4
