The population density (people per km2) inside a circular city is D(A)=5000e−0.002A, where A is the city’s area in km2. The area is related to the city’s radius by A=πr2. When the radius is 10 km and increasing at dtdr=0.30 km/yr, determine dtdD, the instantaneous rate of change of density with respect to time. Give a numerical answer rounded to the nearest whole person per km2 per year.
