turingtest · Answer

so r=f(t) then...

turingtest · Answer

what is the formula for the volume of a sphere?

anonymous · Answer

Are you solving this by using derivatives?

anonymous · Answer

Dr/Dt= 6cm/s
V=4/3 π r3
Dv/Dt=4πr^2(Dr/Dt)
Plug in your variables:
Dv/Dt=4πr(6)
So the function would be:
Dv/Dt=24πr
