The radius of a circular pond is increasing at a constant rate, which can be modeled by the function r(t) = 5t where t is time in months. The area of the pond is modeled by the function A(r) = πr². The area of the pond with respect to time can be modeled by the composition . Which function represents the area with respect to time? A. B. C. D.
Given
A(t) = πr²
r(t) = 5t
We are to evaluate the composite expression A(r(t))
A(r(t)) = A(5t)
To get A(5t), we will replace r in A(t) with 5t and simplify as shown
