Complete question

A 29-meter ladder is sliding down a vertical wall so the distance between the top of the ladder and the ground is decreasing at 7 meters per minute. At a certain instant, the bottom of the ladder is 21 meters from the wall.

What is the rate of change of the distance between the bottom of the ladder and the wall at that instant(in meters per minute)

Answer:

\frac{dx}{dt}=11.94m/min

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

Slant height z=29m

Change in Vertical height  \triangle y=7m/s

Horizontal length x=21

Generally in finding the distance form the  top to the bottom of the wall it is mathematically given by

 x^2+y^2=z^2

 21^2+y^2=29^2

 y^2=29^2+21^2

 y=35.81

Generally solving for the differential equation is mathematically represented as

 x^2+y^2=29^2

 2x*\frac{dx}{dt} +2y*\frac{dy}{dt} =0

 x*\frac{dx}{dt} +y*\frac{dy}{dt} =0

 (21)*\frac{dx}{dt} +(35.81)*(-7) =0

 (21)*\frac{dx}{dt} -250.64 =0

 \frac{dx}{dt}=\frac{250.64}{21}

 \frac{dx}{dt}=11.94m/min

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

Find below:

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we either find the total cos5 of buying 40 bouquets at $2.50 or find the cost of one bouquet at $120.

Cost of one in pack of 40 at $120.

120 divided by 40 = $ 3

Now, we can see that $3>$2.50

This means that Kendra is wrong to buy the bouquet pack of 40 for $120

Hope this helps.

Good Luck
