QuestionFind and interpret where and .
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. The radius of the ripple is given by
. The area of the ripple is given by
3. We are asked to find and interpret the composition of functions
STEP 2
The composition of functions means that we substitute the function into the function .
STEP 3
Substitute into .
STEP 4
Now, substitute into the equation.
STEP 5
Calculate the square of .
STEP 6
So, the function is given byInterpretation This function describes how the area of the ripple changes over time after the pebble strikes the water. It says that the area of the ripple is proportional to the square of the time since the pebble hit the water, with the constant of proportionality being square feet per second squared.
