Example Questions

Example Question #831 : Rate

A spherical balloon is being filled with air. What is the rate of growth of the sphere's volume when the radius is 4 and the rate of change of the radius is 10?

 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Let's begin by writing the equation for the volume of a sphere with respect to the sphere's radius:

The rate of change can be found by taking the derivative of each side of the equation with respect to time:

Now given our problem conditions, the radius is 4 and the rate of change of the radius is 10, we can solve for the rate of change of our volume:
