Question 256825: The formula relating the volume, V, of a baloon and its radius,r, as it is being inflated is: V(r)=4/3 pi r^3,where r is the radius in cm.
a) Determine the average rate of change in volume between r=2 and r=10cm.
b) Determine the average rate of change in volume between r=8 and r=10cm.
c) Determine the average rate of change in volume between r=9.99 and r=10
d) Calculate the value of 4 pi r ^2 for r=10. What do you notice?
Please help me :) Thanks.

The formula relating the volume, V, of a baloon and its radius,r, as it is being inflated is: V(r)=4/3 pi r^3,where r is the radius in cm.
a) Determine the average rate of change in volume between r=2 and r=10cm.
At r=2, Vol = (32/3) pi cc =~ 33.51 cc
At r=10, Vol = (4000/3)pi cc =~4188.79 cc
Diff = (3968/3)pi cc
Avg rate of change = (3968/3)*pi/(10-2) =~ 519.41
--------------------
b) Determine the average rate of change in volume between r=8 and r=10cm.
At r=8, Vol = (2048/3)pi cc =~ 2144.66 cc
At r=10, Vol = (4000/3)pi cc =~ 4188.79 cc
Avg rate of change = (1952*pi/3)/(10-8) = ~ 1022
------------------------
c) Determine the average rate of change in volume between r=9.99 and r=10
At r = 9.99, Vol =~ 4176.24 cc
At r = 10, Vol =~ 4188.79 cc
Avg rate of change =~ 1255
------------------------------
d) Calculate the value of 4 pi r ^2 for r=10. What do you notice?
4pi*r^2 = 4000pi =~ 1256.637
-----------------------
As the difference between 10 and the other radius becomes smaller, the average rate of change becomes closer to 4pi*r^2 at r=10.
-------------------------
Tho it might not be relevant, 4pi*r^2 is the surface area of the sphere.
-------------------------
PS I did these on a calculator, but I recommend using Excel. Errors are less likely, and you can easily change the increments and see the effects.
