Amanda Reckonwith draws five circles with radii and . Then for each circle she plots the point , where is its circumference and is its area. Which of the following could be her graph?
Solution
The circumference of a circle is obtained by simply multiplying the radius by . So, the C-coordinate (in this case, it is the x-coordinate) will increase at a steady rate. The area, however, is obtained by squaring the radius and multiplying it by . Since squares do not increase in an evenly spaced arithmetic sequence, the increase in the A-coordinates ( aka the y- coordinates) will be much more significant. The answer is . -RBANDA
