- A forest fire leaves behind an area of grass burned in an expanding circular pattern. If the radius of the circle of burning grass is increasing with time according to the formula r(t)=2t+1 , express the area burned as a function of time, t (minutes).arrow_forwardThe height h of a projectile is a function of the time t it is in die air. The height in feet for t seconds is given by the function h(t)=-16t2+96t . What is the domain of die function? What does the domain mean in the context of die problem?arrow_forwardThe circumference C of a circle is a function of its radius given by C(r)=2r. Express the radius of a circle as a function of its circumference. Call this function r(C) , Find r(36) and interpret its meaning,arrow_forward
- A rain drop hitting a lake makes a circular ripple. If the radius, in inches, grows as a function of time in minutes according to r(t)=25t+2 , find the area of the ripple as a function of time. Find the area of the ripple at t=2 .arrow_forwardField Trip A class of fourth graders walks to a park on a field trip. The function y=f(t) graphed below gives their distance from school in ft t minutes after they left school. What is the average speed going to the park? How long was the class at the park? How far away is the park? Graph the function y=0.5f(t). How is the graph of the new function related to the graph of the original function? What is the average speed going to the new park? How far is the new park? Graph the function y=f(t10). How is the graph of the new function related to the graph of the original function? How does the field trip described by this function differ from the original trip?arrow_forwardArea of an oil spill Suppose an oil spill from a tanker is spreading in the shape of a circular ripple. If the function dt=3t represents the diameter of the spill in inches at time t minutes, express the area, A, of the oil spill as a function of time. Find the area of the oil spill after 2 hours. Round to one decimal place.arrow_forward
