The area of a circle is decreasing at \(12\pi\text{ cm}^2\text{ s}^{-1}\).
When its radius is \(3\text{ cm}\), find:

  1. the rate of change of its radius;

  2. the rate of change of its circumference.

Use \(A=\pi r^2\) and \(C=2\pi r\).

Similar questions are unavailable for this question.
Answer:\(\frac{\mathrm{d}r}{\mathrm{d}t}=-2\text{ cm/s}\); \(\frac{\mathrm{d}C}{\mathrm{d}t}=-4\pi\text{ cm/s}\).
