If A is the area of a circle with radius r and the circle expands as time passes, find dA/dt in terms of dr/dt. dA dt = dr dt (b) Suppose oil spills from a ruptured tanker and spreads in a circular pattern. If the radius of the oil spill increases at a constant rate of 1 m/s, how fast is the area of the spill increasing when the radius is 25 m?

Respuesta :

Answer:

A) dA/dt = 2πr(dr/dt)

B) dA/dt = 50π m²/s

Explanation:

A) The formula for Area is;

A = πr²

Since, we want to find dA/dt. Thus,

(A)(1/dt) = (πr²)(1/dt)

Thus, differentiating;

(dA/dr)(1/dt) = 2πr(1/dt)

Multiply both sides by dr to obtain;

dA/dt = 2πr(dr/dt)

(b) we want to find rate of area (dA/dt) when r = 25m and dr/dt = 1 m/s

since we know that, dA/dt = 2πr(dr/dt), we can solve it as;

dA/dt = 2π(25)(1)

dA/dt = 50π m²/s

The area of the spill is increasing at a rate of 157m²/s

The formula for calculating the area of the circle is expressed as:

[tex]A = \pi r^2[/tex]

The rate at which the area of the spill is increasing is expressed as:

[tex]\frac{dA}{dt} =\frac{dA}{dr}\cdot\frac{dr}{dt} \\\frac{dA}{dt} =2 \pi r\cdot\frac{dr}{dt}[/tex]

Given the following parameters

radius r = 25 m

[tex]\frac{dr}{dt} =1m/s[/tex]

Substitute the given parameters into the formula:

[tex]\frac{dA}{dt} = 2(3.14)(25)(1)\\ \frac{dA}{dt} =157m^2/s[/tex]

Hence the area of the spill is increasing at a rate of 157m²/s
