A ladder 25 feet long is leaning against the wall of a building. Initially, the foot of the ladder is 7 feet from the wall. The foot of the ladder begins to slide at a rate of 2 ft/sec, causing the top of the ladder to slide down the wall. The location of the foot of the ladder at time t seconds is given by the parametric equations (7+2t,0). Find a time interval [a,9] so that the average velocity of the top of the ladder on this time interval is -20 ft/sec i.e. a=
