A spherical balloon is being inflated with helium at a rate of 20π cm3/min. How fast is the balloon's radius changing when the radius is 1 cm?

Respuesta :

Answer:

5 cm/min

Step-by-step explanation:

A spherical balloon is being inflated with helium at a rate of 20π cm³/min.

The volume of a sphere is given by :

[tex]V=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3[/tex] ...(1)

Differentiate equation (1) wrt t as follows :

[tex]\dfrac{dV}{dt}=3\times \dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^2\times \dfrac{dr}{dt}\\\\\dfrac{dV}{dt}=4\pi r^2\dfrac{dr}{dt}\ ....(1)[/tex]

Put dV/dt = 20π cm³/min and r = 1 cm, we can fin dr/dt

[tex]\dfrac{dV}{dt}=4\pi r^2\dfrac{dr}{dt}\\\\20\pi =4\pi (1)\times \dfrac{dr}{dt}\\\\\dfrac{dr}{dt}=5\ cm/min[/tex]

So, the radius of changing at the rate of 5 cm/min.

Using implicit differentiation, it is found that the radius is changing at a rate of 5 cm/min.

The volume of a sphere of radius r is given by:

[tex]V = \frac{4\pi r^3}{3}[/tex]

Applying implicit differentiation, the rate of change is of:

[tex]\frac{dV}{dt} = 4\pi r^2\frac{dr}{dt}[/tex]

  • A spherical balloon is being inflated with helium at a rate of 20π cm3/min, hence [tex]\frac{dV}{dt} = 20\pi[/tex]
  • The radius is of 1 cm, hence [tex]r = 1[/tex].

Then:

[tex]\frac{dV}{dt} = 4\pi r^2\frac{dr}{dt}[/tex]

[tex]20\pi = 4\pi (1)^2\frac{dr}{dt}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dr}{dt} = \frac{20}{4}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dr}{dt} = 5[/tex]

The radius is changing at a rate of 5 cm/min.
