25-Foot Ladder Is Leaning Against a House (See Figure) r=2x625x2ft/secr = \frac { 2 x } { \sqrt { 625 - x ^ { 2 } } } \mathrm { ft } / \mathrm { sec }

Question 81

Multiple Choice

25-foot ladder is leaning against a house (see figure) . If the base of the ladder is pulled away from the house at a rate of 2 feet per second, the top will move down the wall at a rate of r=2x625x2ft/secr = \frac { 2 x } { \sqrt { 625 - x ^ { 2 } } } \mathrm { ft } / \mathrm { sec } where xx is the distance between the base of the ladder and the house. Find the limit of rr as x25x \rightarrow 25 ^ { - } .
