the base of the wall at a speed of 2 feet per second, how fast is the angle between the ladder
and the wall changing when the bottom of the ladder is 6 feet from the base of the wall?
b. Describe the motion of a particle with position (x, y) as t varies in the given interval.
x  4  4t ,
y  2t  5,
0t 2
