A stone is thrown into a pond. A circular ripple is spreading over the pond in
such a way that the radius is increasing at the rate of 3. feet per second.
Find a function, r(t), for the radius in terms of t.
:
r(t) = 3t
;
Find a function, A(r), for the area of the ripple in terms of r.
A(r) = pi%2Ar%5E2
:
Find (A of r)(t).
A(rt) = pi%2A%283r%29%5E2
