Question 601881: Hello, I have this question on a past paper for my exams which I am struggling with;
"A gourmet chef is renowned for her spherical shaped souffle. Once it's put in the oven, its volume increases at a rate proportional to its radius.
Show that the radius r cm of the souffle, at time t minutes after it has been put in the over, satisfies the differential equation where k is constant."
Thank you :)
