A family of curves is a group of curves that are each described by a parametrization in which one or more variables are parameters. In general, the parameters have more complexity on the assembly of the curve than an ordinary linear transformation. These…

XZ Plane

In order to understand XZ plane, it's helpful to understand two-dimensional and three-dimensional spaces. To plot a point on a plane, two numbers are needed, and these two numbers in the plane can be represented as an ordered pair (a,b) where a and b are…

Euclidean Geometry

Geometry is the branch of mathematics that deals with flat surfaces like lines, angles, points, two-dimensional figures, etc. In Euclidean geometry, one studies the geometrical shapes that rely on different theorems and axioms. This (pure mathematics) ge…

Lines and Angles

In a two-dimensional plane, a line is simply a figure that joins two points. Usually, lines are used for presenting objects that are straight in shape and have minimal depth or width.

A ladder 25 feet long is leaning against the wall of a building. Initially, the foot of the ladder is 7 feet from the wall. The foot of the ladder begins to slide at a rate of 2 ft/sec, causing the top of the ladder to slide down the wall. The location of the foot of the ladder, its x coordinate, at time t seconds is given by x(t)=7+2t. wall y(1) 25 ft. ladder x(1) ground (a) Find the formula for the location of the top of the ladder, the y coordinate, as a function of time t. The formula for y(t)= √ 25² - (7+2t)² (b) The domain of t values for y(t) ranges from 0 (c) Calculate the average velocity of the top of the ladder on each of these time intervals (correct to three decimal places): .

(a) If F is continuous at x then F is differentiable at x. (b) If F is differentiable at x then F is continuous at x. If F is differentiable at x then F has all 1st order partial (c) derivatives at x. (d) If all 1st order partial derivatives of F exist and are con- tinuous on RN then F is differentiable at x.
