hero (hero):
\[V_{sphere} = \frac{4\pi r^3}{3}\]
hero (hero):
\[V Prime = 4\pi r^2\]
hero (hero):
V Prime = rate of change of sphere
hero (hero):
substitute 2 = r for radius, then evaluate
hero (hero):
So the answer is 16pi

How did you get V prime? Find the derivative?
hero (hero):
Yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Ok, so when finding the derivative, I would plug (x+h) into r?
hero (hero):
Oh you haven't learned the shortcut for taking derivative?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
No, not yet.. our teacher is making us do the definition of a derivative.

I'm sorry to hear that
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Lol, it's okay, in this case I would put (x+h) into r then, right?
hero (hero):
Um, well....hold on
hero (hero):
Good luck with using definition of derivative to do this. Your teacher should have shown you how to do it by now.

LOL okay.. thanks though =]
