Math Problem Statement
The circumference C of a circle is a function of its radius given by C(r)=2πr
a. Express the radius of a circle as a function of its circumference. Call this function r(C)
Enter the exact answer. Enclose numerators and denominators in parentheses. For example, (a−b)/(1+n). r(C)=?
Solution
We are given the equation for the circumference of a circle as a function of its radius:
We are tasked with finding the radius as a function of the circumference . To do this, we need to solve for in terms of .
Starting with the equation for circumference:
Solve for by dividing both sides of the equation by :
Thus, the radius as a function of the circumference is:
