The radius of a sphere is increasing at a rate of 4mm/s. How fast is the volume increasing when the diameter is 80 mm?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

"Radius of a sphere is increasing at a rate..." dr/dt = 4 "How fast is volume increasing?" We need to find dV/dt drdt∗dVdr=dVdt So we have a way to find it, but we must first find dV/dr. How do we find dV/dr? V=(4/3)pi*r^3 Derive with respect to r.

make diamerter a radius

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what happens to the 80mm? do we not include that in the formula?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

include it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i will put in formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is what I had previously dV/dr = 4pi squared*80*4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First off you are looking for dv/dt. Therefore set up an equation like this: dv/dt = dv/dr * dr/dt We know that dr/dt = 4 mm/s The formula of volume for a sphere is (4/3)pi * r^3. The diameter is 80mm, therefore the radius is 40 mm. When you differentiate the volume equation, you will get 4pi*r^2. Now plug in 40 for the radius into the volume equation and multiply that by 4 mm/s. It will look like dv/dt = 4pi(40)^2 * 4 mm/s That will give you the rate at which the volume is increasing when the diameter is 80 mm. Hope this helps.
