CALCULUS RELATED RATES: A 20 foot ladder is leaning against a wall. The base of the ladder is placed 6 feet from the bottom of t

he wall. The base of the ladder slips away from the wall at a constant rate of 2 feet/sec. Find the velocity of the top of the ladder as it slider down the wall 3 seconds after it begins to fall.

Answer:

2.17ft/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the sketch of ladder at the beginning and after 3 seconds it starts to fall,

Distance of ladder from the wall 3 seconds after ladder starts to fall                                       =  Initial distance+  Velocity× time

= 6 + 2×3

= 12ft

Use trignometry to find out the speed of the top of ladder

cosθ= 12/20

θ= 0.825 rad

tan θ= v/2

v= 2.17ft/s

Find the value of each missing variable. y=
e-lub [12.9K]

Step-by-step explanation:

29x - 3 + 15x + 7 = 180° because these two angles are supplementary

if we add like terms

44x + 4 = 180

44x = 176 divide both sides by 44

x = 4

29x - 3 = 13y - 17 because alternate exterior angles has same measurement

since we found the value of x let's rewrite the equation

4 × 29 - 3 = 13y - 17

113 = 13y - 17

130 = 13y divide both sides by 13

10 = y

Find the domain of the function shown. Write the answer in interval notation.
lara31 [8.8K]

( - ∞, 3) ∪ (3, ∞ )

The domain is the set of values of x which make f(x) defined

The denominator of f(x) cannot be zero as this would make f(x) undefined. Equating the denominator to zero and solving gives the value that x cannot be.

solve x - 3 = 0 ⇒ x = 3

domain : (- ∞, 3) ∪ (3, ∞ )

In archery I need to know what is the box plot for sagars scores
Anit [1.1K]
<span>I think you know by now that I strongly encourage everyone to shoot a proper round and whatever the score is, to submit it to our Records Officer, Giles Conn. Think of it as an annual competition (a) to wear him out, and (b) to see if we can altogether, beat last year's tally. Also, for the outdoor season rounds, you can have a go at achieving the St Wilfred trophy. I've won it 3 years running (last year jointly with Terry Skinner), but they wouldn't let me keep it this time, sadly.</span>
