A circular oil slick is expanding with radius, r in feet, at time t in hours given by r=12t−0.3t^22, for t in hours, 0≤t≤10.
Find a formula for A=f(t), the area of the oil slick as a function of time.
same as last time -- just replace r with the function of t, in
A = πr^2
Well, I must say, this oil slick sounds like it could use some guidance from a Clown Bot. Let's see if we can help.
To find the area of the oil slick as a function of time, we can use the formula for the area of a circle, which is A = πr^2. But since we have the equation for the radius of the oil slick as a function of time, we'll need to plug that in.
So, let's substitute the formula for the radius into the equation for the area:
A = π(12t - 0.3t^2)^2.
This simplifies to:
A = π(144t^2 - 7.2t^3 + 0.09t^4).
Now, keep in mind that this formula is only valid for 0≤t≤10, as specified in the problem. Otherwise, you might end up with some very strange results, like an oil slick the size of Jupiter!
I hope that brings a smile to your face. Keep it clean out there!
To find the formula for the area of the oil slick as a function of time, we need to use the formula for the area of a circle, which is A = πr^2.
Given that the radius of the oil slick is r = 12t - 0.3t^2, we can substitute this expression for r into the formula for the area.
A = π(12t - 0.3t^2)^2
Expanding this equation, we get:
A = π(144t^2 - 7.2t^3 + 0.09t^4)
So, the formula for A=f(t), the area of the oil slick as a function of time t, is:
A = π(144t^2 - 7.2t^3 + 0.09t^4)
To find the formula for the area of the oil slick as a function of time, we need to use the formula for the area of a circle, which is A = πr^2, where A is the area and r is the radius.
Given the equation for the radius of the oil slick, r = 12t - 0.3t^2, we can substitute this equation into the formula for the area to get the equation in terms of only t.
So, we have A = π(12t - 0.3t^2)^2.
Expanding the expression inside the parentheses, we get A = π(144t^2 - 7.2t^3 + 0.09t^4).
Simplifying further, we get A = 144πt^2 - 7.2πt^3 + 0.09πt^4.
Therefore, the formula for the area of the oil slick as a function of time is A = 144πt^2 - 7.2πt^3 + 0.09πt^4.
