Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The attached diagram shows the triangle ABC formed by the ladder with the wall of the house.

Triangle ABC is a right angle triangle. It has a 90 degree angle. The length of the ladder forms the hypotenuse(AC)of the triangle. This length can be determined by applying Pythagoras theorem

Hypotenuse^2 = opposite ^2 + adjacent^2

AC^2 = 22^2 + 5^2

AC^2 = 484 + 25 = 509

AC = √509

AC = 22.56

The slope of the ladder is

(change in y)/(change in x)

Slope = 22/5 = 4.4

If −5e^x^2 y=x and y(−5)=0, find y′(−5) by implicit differentiation
xenn [34]
Differentiate:
-5×2(xe^x^2)y-5e^x^2dy/dx=1
-5e^x^2(2xy+y´)=1
When x=-5, y=0:
-5e²⁵y´=1, so y´(-5)=-eˉ²⁵/5
