The city of Compass Station is in the shape of a circle of radius 6 miles, as shown in the graph below, where the grid is shown in miles along each axis.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 -1 -2 -3 -4 -5 -6 -7 -8 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 -1 -2 -3 -4 -5 -6 -7 -8
The population density is 4500 people mile 2 \displaystyle {4500}{\frac{{\text{people}}}{{\text{mile}^{{2}}}}} 4500 mile 2 people at the center of town, decreasing linearly to 3300 people mile 2 \displaystyle {3300}{\frac{{\text{people}}}{{\text{mile}^{{2}}}}} 3300 mile 2 people at the edge of town.
Let δ ( r ) \displaystyle \delta{\left({r}\right)} δ ( r ) represent the population density of points in the city that are r \displaystyle {r} r miles from the center.Write a formula for the population density.
δ ( r ) = \displaystyle \delta{\left({r}\right)}= δ ( r ) = Preview Question 6 Part 1 of 7
