- 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_forwardEarthquake the graph shows the vertical acceleration of the Ground from the 1994 Northridge earthquake in Los Angles, as measured by a seismograph. (Here t represents the time in seconds.) (a) At what time t did the earthquake first make noticeable movement of the Earth? (b) At what time t did the earthquakes seem to end? (c) At what time t was the maximum intensity of the earthquake list reachedarrow_forwardA Mathematical Term: If f=f(x), then we use dfdx to denote the rate of change in f. What is the technical mathematical term for dfdx?arrow_forward
- A Leaky BalloonA balloon leaks air changes volume at a rate of one-third the volume per minute. Write an equation of change that describes the volume V of air in the balloon at time t in minutes.arrow_forwardUse a calculator to help solve each problem. Alcohol absorption In one individual, the percent of alcohol absorbed into the bloodstream after drinking two glasses of wine is given by the following formula. Find the percent of alcohol absorbed into the blood after 12 hour. Pt=0.31-e-0.05t where, t is in minutesarrow_forwardRipples in a pond When a stone is thrown into the center of a pond, the ripples spread out in a circular pattern, moving at a rate of 3 feet per second. If the stone is dropped at a point (0,0) in the illustration, when will the ripple reach the seagull floating at the point (15,36)?arrow_forward
