Question
A balloon, which always remains spherical, has a variable diameter $\frac{3}{2}(2 x+1)$. Find the rate of change of its volume with respect to $x$.
Step 1
We know that the radius of a sphere is half of its diameter. So, the radius of the balloon is $\frac{3}{4}(2x+1)$. Show more…

Find the rate of change of the volume of a sphere (given by $\left.V=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}\right)$ with respect to its radius $r$ when the radius is $2 \mathrm{m}$
Differentiation
Using Differentials and Derivatives
The radius of a spherical balloon is increasing at the rate of 0.25 inch per second. If the radius is 0 at time $t=0,$ find the rate of change in the volume at time $t=3$.
The Derivative
Two Problems with One Theme
As air is pumped into a spherical balloon, the radius increases at the constant rate of 2 centimeters per second. What is the rate of change of the balloon's volume when the radius is 10 centimeters? (The volume $V$ of a sphere of radius $r$ is $\left.\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3} .\right)$
