During one year, the value of a stock dropped, then rose slightly then continued to drop to an all time low. Which graph illustrates the trend in the stock value during the last year?

0.29 mi / hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Area (A) = 15mi²

Area increases at a constant rate of 4mi²/ hr

Area(A) of a circle is given as πr² - - - (1)

Derivative of A with respect to time ;

A = πr²

dA/dt = 2πr(dr/dt) - - - (2)

Rate of change of Area with time (dA/dt) = 4mi²/hr

From (1) :

A = πr²

A = 15mi²

15 = πr²

15/π = r²

r = √(15/π)

From (2) :

dA/dt = 2πr(dr/dt)

4 = 2π√(15/π)dr/dt

dr/dt = 4/2π√(15/π)

= 0.29134

= 0.29 mi / hr
