$$ \begin{aligned} &\text { Prove that if } f \text { and } g \text { are one-to-one functions, then }\\\ &(f \circ g)^{-1}(x)=\left(g^{-1} \circ f^{-1}\right)(x). \end{aligned} $$
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, the top will move down the wall at a rate \(r\) of \(r=\frac{2 x}{\sqrt{625-x^{2}}} \mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{sec}\) where \(x\) is the distance between the ladder base and the house. (a) Find \(r\) when \(x\) is 7 feet. (b) Find \(r\) when \(x\) is 15 feet. (c) Find the limit of \(r\) as \(x \rightarrow 25^{-}\).
