Answer

a). $\frac{7}{12} ft/sec$ b.) $ \frac{3}{2} ft/sec$ c.) $ \infty$

Work Step by Step

For a. plug in 7 feet to the given equation. a.) $r= \frac{2 \times 7}{\sqrt {625 - 49}}= \frac{7}{12} ft/sec $ Plug in 15 feet for b b.) $r=\frac{15\times 2}{\sqrt {625-225}} = \frac{3}{2}$ c.) $\lim\limits_{x \to 25^-} \frac{2x}{\sqrt {625- x^2}}=\infty $ Because numbers just under 25 are approaching $ \infty $
