help please .. it is about derivatives application

Related rates! first what the Area of a circle?

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

First Break thing down to know what you are looking for they want the rate of change of the radius meaning they looking for \(\large \frac{d}{dt}(r)\)

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

Yes?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

Hey you there! @forzamilan

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

do you got what i did just know?

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

So what is the area of circle? the formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm trying to figure it out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a=pie(r)^2

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

yes \(\large A=\pi~r^2\) Now take the derivative of that with respect to t (time)

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

differentiate the equation implicitly

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer is 3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

m/s

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

I don't know what the answer is! do the step and will see

OpenStudy (kainui):

So both area and radius are changing over time right? Then this means Area and Radius are both functions of time. And we also know they're related by the unforgettable A=pi*r^2 So let's write them as being functions of time: \[\LARGE A(t)=\pi [r(t)]^2\] Now let's take the derivative of this equation with respect to time. \[\LARGE A'(t)=2 \pi *r(t) * r'(t)\] I just used the chain rule. Now why did I take the derivative? Because I knew from the question we were given that at a specific time, which I will just call t_0 to distinguish it as being a specific moment in time, \[\LARGE A'(t_0)=150 \frac{m^2}{s}\] and \[\LARGE r(t_0)=25 m\] So now we have everything we need to solve for \[\LARGE r'(t_0)\]

thnx everyone i got it :)
