An accident at an oil drilling platform is causing a circular-shaped oil slick to form. The volume of the oil slick is roughly g
iven V(r) = 0.07πr^2, where r is the radius of the slick in feet. In turn, the radius is increasing over time according to the function r(t) = 0.4t, where t is measured in minutes. 1) find (V of r)(t) and simply it
We can use the formula y2-y1/x2-x1 to find our answer. So, we have : t-16/5-2 = -3. We simplify that to t-16/3 = -3. We can then multiply both sides by 3 to get t-16 = -9. Then we can add 16 to both sides to get t = 7.
