A is invertible.arrow_forwardFind the exact area inside r=2sin(2\theta ) and outside r=\sqrt(3)arrow_forwardA 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_forward
