Answer:

a)1. 28.26

2. 26.70

3. 25.44

b) 25.13

Explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Area of circle


A(r) = \pi r^2, where r is the radius of circle.

a) Formula:

Rate of change of area of circle =
\displaystyle(A(r_2) - A(r_1))/(r_2-r_1)

Putting the given values we get:

1. Rate of change of circle when radius changes from 4 to 5


\displaystyle(\pi (5)^2- \pi (4)^2)/(5-4) = 9\pi = 28.26

2. Rate of change of circle when radius changes from 4 to 4.5


\displaystyle(\pi (4.5)^2- \pi (4)^2)/(4.5-4) =26.70

3. Rate of change of circle when radius changes from 4 to 4.1


\displaystyle(\pi (4.1)^2- \pi (4)^2)/(4.1-4) =25.44

b) Instantaneous rate of change


\displaystyle(d(A(r)))/(dr) = (d(\pi r^2))/(dr) = 2\pi r

When r = 4


A'(4) = 2* \pi * 4 = 25.13
