A 25​-foot ladder is placed against a vertical wall. Suppose the bottom of the ladder slides away from the wall at a constant ra

te of 4 feet per second. How fast is the top of the ladder sliding down the wall when the bottom is 15 feet from the​ wall? The ladder is sliding down the wall at a rate of nothing ​ft/sec. ​(Type an integer or a simplified​ fraction.)

Answer: The ladder is sliding down the wall at a rate of 5\dfrac{17}{50}\ ft/sec

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of ladder = 25 foot

Distance from the wall to the bottom of ladder = 15 feet

Let base be 'x'.

Let length of wall be 'y'.

So, by pythagorus theorem, we get that

x^2+y^2=25^2\\\\15^2+y^2+625\\\\225+y^2=625\\\\y^2=625-225\\\\y^2=400\\\\y=\sqrt{400}\\\\y=20\ feet

\dfrac{dy}{dx}=-4\ ft/sec

Now, the equation would be

x^2+y^2=625\\

Differentiating w.r.t x, we get that

2x\dfrac{dx}{dt}+2y.\dfrac{dy}{dt}=0\\\\2\times 15\dfrac{dx}{dt}+2\times 20\times -4=0\\\\30\dfrac{dx}{dt}-160=0\\\\\dfrac{dx}{dt}=\dfrac{160}{30}=5.34\ ft/sec

Hence, the ladder is sliding down the wall at a rate of 5\dfrac{17}{50}\ ft/sec

How many solutions does this equation have? How do you know?<br><br> 8x +14 - 4x = 9 + 4x - 5
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

no solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

8x + 14 -4x = 9+4x -5

8x-4x -4x = 9-5-14

0x = -10

anything multiplied by 0 is 0, so it's impossible to get -10 by multiplying by 0

What is the slope of the table x= 2, 0, -2, -4 y= 6, 1, -4, -9
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

The slope of the table is m=\frac{5}{2}   or  m=2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

we have the following ordered pairs

(2,6),(0,1),(-2,-4) and (-4,-9)

take two points

(2,6) and (-4,-9)

substitute in the formula

m=\frac{-9-6}{-4-2}

m=\frac{-15}{-6}

simplify

m=\frac{5}{2}

Researchers collected data from 100 randomly chosen counties in Texas on pollution levels and asthma rates. Pollution levels wer
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

The answer is "3.14".

Step-by-step explanation:

The coefficient of pollution level is "b" and "a" intercept

\to y=a+bx\\\\  

We must verify it.

H_0 :\beta = 0\\\\H_a : \beta \neq 0\\\\

Beta \to b=1.76, SE=0.56 \ Estimate

The statistics on tets are now provided

\to t=\frac{b}{SE}=\frac{1.76}{0.56}=3.14

Because statistics will be more than critical (1.984) values, we thus rejectH_0
