A rocket is launched from Earth. Its distance from Earth’s surface as a function of time is given by D(t) = 12t^2 + 40t. The amount of fuel in the tank as a function of distance is given by F(D) = 1000 - 0.1D. Convert distance and fuel into parametric functions with time, t, as a parameter and verify dF/dD.
