I will answer this
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I mean check this...
OpenStudy (precal):
Air is leaking out of an inflated balloon in the shape of a sphere at a rate of 230 pi cubic centimeters per minute. At the instant when the radius is 4 centimeters, what is the rate of change of the radius of the balloon?
OpenStudy (precal):
thanks
OpenStudy (precal):
I used \[V=\frac{ 4 }{ 3 }\pi r^3\]

\[\frac{ dv }{ dt}=4\pi r^2 \frac{ dr }{ dt }\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Volume =4/3 pi r cubed...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so...
OpenStudy (precal):
r = 4 dv/dt =230 pi
OpenStudy (precal):
my solution is dr/dr = 3.59375 cm/sec

Ok let me do the math myself..
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Process seems correct.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I got t he same answer.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
but in cm/min
OpenStudy (precal):
thanks I haven't done related rates in a while. yes you are correct cm/min

Ok so since r = 4 dv/dt =230 pi... dr/dr= Yes i got 3.59375 cm/min
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh and its cm/min
OpenStudy (precal):
thank you for checking it. I knew I could not have done the whole thing correct.
