Concept explainers
To describe: The similarities and difference between geometric sequence and exponential functions

Explanation of Solution
Given information: geometric sequence and exponential functions
similarities and difference between geometric sequence and exponential functions:
An exponential function is defined from geometric sequence by neplacing the cocmting integer x by the real variable x.
Difference between geometric sequence & exponential functions:
The fundamental difference between two concepts is that a geometric sequence is d’screte but an exponential function is continuous .

- A 20 foot ladder rests on level ground; its head (top) is against a vertical wall. The bottom of the ladder begins by being 12 feet from the wall but begins moving away at the rate of 0.1 feet per second. At what rate is the top of the ladder slipping down the wall?
