<h2>
The top of the ladder is descending at 0.3 m/s.</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
By Pythagoras theorem we know that
Hypotenuse² = Base² + Perpendicular²
h² = b² + p²
We have for ladder
h = 5 m
b = 3 m
5² = 3² + p²
p = 4 m

Differentiating h² = b² + p² with respect to time

The top of the ladder is descending at 0.3 m/s.

Slope Formula: 
Point-Slope Form: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
- x₁ - x coordinate
- y₁ - y coordinate
- m - slope
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
f(8) = -1 → Coordinate (8, -1)
f(6) = 0 → Coordinate (6, 0)

- Simplify:

<u>Step 3: Write Function</u>
<em>Substitute into general form.</em>
- Point 1: y + 1 = -1/2(x - 8)
- Point 2: y = -1/2(x - 6)
Answer:
The graph will be discrete because there is no such thing as a partial person to sign up and the booth is set up once each day for sign ups.
Step-by-step explanation:
The difference between continuous and discrete graphs and functions is that a discrete function allows the variables to be only certain points in the interval, usually only integers; meanwhile, a continuous function allows the variables to be any points in the interval. Here, both variables are discrete, that is, the number of people is {0, 1, 2, 3, ...}, and days are {Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, ...}
