Rate of Change A 25-foot ladder is leaning against a house (see figure). If the base of the ladder is pulled away from the house at a rate of 2 feet per second, then the top will move down the wall at a rate of r = 2x 625 − x2 ft/sec where x is the distance between the base of the ladder and the house, and r is the rate in feet per second. (a) Find the rate r when x is 7 feet. (b) Find the rate r when x is 15 feet. (c) Find the limit of r as x approaches 25 from the left.
