How fast is the surface area of a spherical balloon increasing when the radius is 10 cm and the volume is increasing at 15 cm3/sec? [7]

OpenStudy (shadowfiend):

Do you know the equation for the volume of a sphere given the radius?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

V= (4/3)[pi (r ^{3}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

V = (v/3) pi r^3

OpenStudy (shadowfiend):

The first one is correct.

OpenStudy (shadowfiend):

So the next step is to come up with an expression of V in terms of time, and then determine how r then changes with time. Once you come up with an expression for r in terms of time, you can plug it into the equation for surface area, and you'll be set!
