Air is being pumped into a spherical balloon at a rate of 1 (cm)^3/s. Determine the area's rate of change when the volume is 90 (cm)^3.
\[\frac{dv}{dt}=1\]
\[A= 4 \pi r^2 \]
\[V= \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3\]
we want dA/dt. \[\frac{dA}{dt} = \frac{dA}{dr} \times \frac{dr}{dt} = \frac{dA}{dr} \times [ \frac{dr}{dv} \times \frac{dv}{dt}] = \frac{dA}{dr} \times [ \frac{1}{\frac{dv}{dr}} \times \frac{dv}{dt}] \]
\[\frac{dA}{dr} = 8 \pi r \] \[\frac{dv}{dr} = 4 \pi r^2 \] and given \[\frac{dv}{dt} =1 \]
\[\frac{dA}{dt} = 8 \pi r \times \frac{1}{4\pi r^2} \times 1 = \frac{2}{r}\]
Now, we just need to find the value of r which corresponds to volume of 90
\[r= \sqrt[3]{\frac{3V}{4 \pi}} \]
The rest is putting values into a calculator , you can do that .
