\n" ); document.write( "The statement of the problem makes no sense: \"...when the radius is 5 ft is zero.\"

\n" ); document.write( "I can only assume that the question was supposed to read \"... when the radius is 5 feet.\"

\n" ); document.write( "The formula for the volume of a cylinder is

\n" ); document.write( "\"%28pi%29%28r%5E2%29%28h%29\"

\n" ); document.write( "The height h is fixed at 10. The problem asks for the rate of change of volume with respect to diameter; so we need the volume equation in terms of the diameter:

\n" ); document.write( "\"%28pi%29%28%28d%2F2%29%5E2%29%2810%29+=+%285pi%2F4%29%28d%5E2%29\"

\n" ); document.write( "Then dV/dd is

\n" ); document.write( "\"%285pi%2F2%29%28d%29\"

\n" ); document.write( "When the radius is 5, the diameter is 10, so when the radius is 5 the rate of change of volume with respect to diameter is

\n" ); document.write( "\"%285pi%2F2%29%2810%29+=+25pi\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
