Because of a storm, ground controllers instruct the pilot of a plane flying at an altitude of 4 miles to make a 90°ï¿½ turn and climb to an altitude of 4.2 miles. The model for the path of the plane during this maneuver is
where t is the time in hours and r is the distance in miles.
(a) Determine the speed of the plane.
(b) Calculate
