A circular oil slick is expanding with radius, r in feet, at time t in hours given by r=12t−0.3t2, 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. A=f(t)=

OpenStudy (dan815):

Area of a circle = pi*r^2

OpenStudy (pulsified333):

correct

OpenStudy (dan815):

and r=12t−0.3t2,

OpenStudy (serenity74):

u wrong dannyboi

OpenStudy (dan815):

so how can you get Area in terms of only time

OpenStudy (serenity74):

u wrong dannyboi

OpenStudy (pulsified333):

i already tried putting the R equation into the area equation

OpenStudy (dan815):

thats all there is

OpenStudy (dan815):

whats you r final expression for area?

OpenStudy (pulsified333):

pi(12t-0.3t^2)^2

OpenStudy (serenity74):

u wrong dannyboi

OpenStudy (dan815):

okay u can expand the brackets too

OpenStudy (pulsified333):

?

OpenStudy (dan815):

expand (12t-0.3t^2)^2

OpenStudy (pulsified333):

how?

OpenStudy (pulsified333):

0.09t^4−7.2t^3+144t^2

OpenStudy (pulsified333):

?

OpenStudy (dan815):

yeah

OpenStudy (pulsified333):

OpenStudy (dan815):

try doing 3.14* for pi

OpenStudy (serenity74):

u wrong dannyboi

OpenStudy (pulsified333):

didnt work

OpenStudy (dan815):

you need units in your formula?

OpenStudy (dan815):

enter units dude

OpenStudy (pulsified333):

like what ft or hrs?

OpenStudy (dan815):

yeah this is area as a function of time so

OpenStudy (pulsified333):

where should i put it?

OpenStudy (dan815):

ft^2

OpenStudy (dan815):

i dunno click on that help with units button and see the format

OpenStudy (pulsified333):

it says hr for hour and ft for feet so

OpenStudy (dan815):

k so do ft^2

OpenStudy (pulsified333):

:D thanks man

OpenStudy (dan815):

np :)
