A ruptured pipe produces a circular oil slick that is y meters thick at a distance x meters from the rupture. It is difficult to directly measure the thickness of the slick at the source (where x=0), but for x>0, it is found that y=0.5(x2+3x)/x3+x2+4x. assuming that the oil slick is continuously distributed, how thick would you expect it to be at the source?
