- 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? You may use a calculator.arrow_forwardExplain the focus and reasons for establishment of 12.4.1(root test) and 12.4.2(ratio test)arrow_forwarduse Integration by Parts to derive 12.6.1arrow_forward
