The spread of oil leaking from a tanker is in the shape of a circle.  If the radius r (in feet) of the spread after x hours is r(x) = nx (n=25). If the equation A(x) = pi (25x)^2 is used to determine the area at a given time, how would you determine the time when the oil patch will reach 100,000 square feet?
