If a woman 2m tall walks from the spotlight toward the building at a speed of 0.6m/s, how fast is the length of her shadow on the building decreasing when she is 6m from the building?
The spotlight is 20 metres away. We're going through derivatives right now so so far I've tried variations of this:dx/dy = 40/((2-x)^2)@ x =640/ (14^2) - 0.6But I can't get the right answer
