\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Physically, when a stone is dropped into a still pond sending out a circular ripple of the radius r = r(t), \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the rate \"%28dr%29%2F%28dt%29\" is constant and is equal to the speed of surface wave.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The area of the circle is a quadratic function of time, in this case.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So, in reality, the radius r= r(t) and the area A = A(t) are different types of functions, distinct of described in this problem.\r
