10. A ladder 5 m long is leaning against a wall. The bottom of the ladder is pulled along the ground, away from the wall, at the rate of 2cm/s. How fast is its height on the wall decreasing when the foot of the ladder is 4 m away from the wall ?
10. A ladder 5 m long is leaning against a wall. The bottom of the ladder is pulled along the ground, away from the wall, at the rate of 2cm/s. How fast is its height on the wall decreasing when the foot of the ladder is 4 m away from the wall ?
Since, the bottom of ground is increasing with time t,
= 2cm/s
From fig, Δ ABC, by Pythagorastheorem
AB2 + BC2 = AC2
x2 + y2 = 52
x2 + y2 = 25 ____ (1)
Differentiating eqn (1) w. r. t. time t we get,
m/s
When x = 4m, the rate at which its height on the wall decreases is

dy/dx = 2x² - 15x + 10.
For tangent at (a, b), slope is m = dx/dy = 1 / (dy/dx) = 1 / (2a² - 15a + 10).
Given slope is -1/3.
2a² - 15a + 10 = -3
2a² - 15a + 13 = 0 (The provided solution has 2a²-15a+7=0, suggesting a different problem or a typo)
Following the image: 2a² - 15a
f' (c) = 1 + lnc = e/ (e-1)
lnc = e/ (e-1) - 1 = (e - (e-1)/ (e-1) = 1/ (e-1)
c = e^ (1/ (e-1)

By truth table
So F1 (A, B, C) is not a tautology
Now again by truth table
So F2 (A, B) be a tautology.
