Growth of a Cancerous Tumor The volume of a spherical cancerous tumor is given by the function V(r) = 4/3 ?r^3 where r is the radius of the tumor in centimeters. Find the rate of change in the volume of the tumor with respect to its radius under the following conditions. (a) r = 4/5 cm cm^3/cm (b) r = 9/8 cm cm^3/cm
