Una escalera de 30 pies de longitud está apoyada contra una pared de modo que su extremo superior se desliza hacia abajo con una velocidad de 1/2 pies/seg ¿cuál es la tasa de variación de la medida del ángulo formado por la escalera y el piso cuando el extremo superior está a 18 pies del piso?

dα /dt  = -  0.028 rad /sec     or  dα /dt  = - 1.59 °

El signo menos significa que el angulo va decresiendo

Step-by-step explanation:

La escalera, la pared vertical y el pié de la escalera y la pared forman un triangulo rectangulo. En ese triangulo

cos α   (  α  angulo que forma la escalera con el piso )

cos α =   x / L

Tomando derivadas con respecto al tiempo (L es constante ) se tiene:

- sen α  *  dα / dt   =  dx/ dt / L

Cuando  el extremo superior de la escalera está a 18 pies del piso, entonces  sen α  =  18 / 30  =  0.6

dx/dt = 1/2 pie/sec

dα/dt  = - (1/2)/ L* 0.6

dα /dt  = -  0.5 / 18

dα /dt  = -  0.028 rad /sec     or  dα /dt  = - 1.59 °

El signo menos significa que el angulo va decresiendo

answer: 1722

step-by-step explanation:

given: the mass of saturn=

the mass of mercury=

the number of times the mass of saturn is greater than the mass of mercury

hence, the mass of saturn is 1722 times greater than the mass of mercury.

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
