(a)
\Observe the diagram.
\The radius of the circle is
.
The equation of the circle:
.
Substitute
in above equation.

The equation of the circle at the current time is
.
The fire reaches the city, the radius will be
.
Substitute
in
.

The equation of the circle at the time the fire reaches the city is
.
(b)
\Graph :
\Graph the functions
and
.

\
(c)
\The radius of the fire is growing
per day.
The city is located
southeast of the fire.
Thus, the fire reached to the city in
days.
