The rate a which the surface area, S, decreases is

The surface area is
S = 4πr²
where r = the radius at time t.
Therefore

When r = 3 cm, obtain
![\frac{dr}{dt}]_{r=3} = - \frac{1}{3} \, cm/s](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cfrac%7Bdr%7D%7Bdt%7D%5D_%7Br%3D3%7D%20%3D%20-%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B3%7D%20%5C%2C%20cm%2Fs%20%20)
Answer: -1/3 cm/s (or -0.333 cm/s)
Answer: The first answer choice
Step-by-step explanation:
In the first answer choice, the distance increases for two units, then decreases for three units. The distance then increased for 4 units, stayed level for 3 units, and then decrease slowly for 6 units. The graph exactly follows this trend.
The second answer is <em>immediately wrong</em> because it relates the distance between the car and the concert venue. <em>It never mentioned that the car moved, and the venue obviously can't move</em>.
The third answer says that after the first increase/decrease, Tyler went to go text his friends. However, <em>the graph does not show a flat area after the first increase/decrease</em>.
The fourth answer, like the second answer is immediately wrong because <em>homes and schools can't move</em>.
This is my first response, so I hope it was helpful. :D
