Answers:

A) 1 ft/min

B) 40pi ft^2/min

=============================================

Work Shown:

We'll use these two equations

Surface area of sphere = S = 4*pi*r^2

Volume of sphere = V = (4/3)pi*r^3

along with this given info

dV/dt = rate of change of volume

dV/dt = 100pi cubic feet per minute

r = 5 ft is the radius

-------------

Part A

V = (4/3)pi*r^3

dV/dt = 3*(4/3)pi*r^2*dr/dt ... apply derivative

dV/dt = 4pi*r^2*dr/dt

100pi = 4pi*5^2*dr/dt ... substitution

100pi = 4pi*25*dr/dt

100pi = 100pi*dr/dt

1 = 1*dr/dt ... divide both sides by 100pi

1 = dr/dt

dr/dt = 1

When the radius is 5 feet, the radius is increasing at 1 foot per minute.

-------------

Part B

S = 4*pi*r^2

dS/dt = 2*4*pi*r*dr/dt

dS/dt = 8*pi*r*dr/dt

dS/dt = 8*pi*5*1

dS/dt = 40pi

When the radius is 5 feet, the surface area is increasing at a rate of 40pi square feet per minute.

Both rates for parts A and B are instantenous rates of change.

The rate at which the balloon's radius increases at the instant the radius is 5 ft is [tex]1ft/min[/tex]

The surface area is increasing at a rate of 40π ft²/min at the instant the radius is 5 ft.

The formula for calculating the volume of the spherical balloon is expressed as:

[tex]V =\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3[/tex]

r is the radius of the spherical balloon = 5 ft

A) The rate at which the balloon is increasing is expressed as:

[tex]\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{dV}{dr}\cdot \frac{dr}{dt}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dV}{dr} = 4 \pi r^2\\ \frac{dV}{dt}= 4 \pi r^2\frac{dr}{dt}[/tex]

Substitute the given parameters:

[tex]100 = 4 \pi (5)^2 \cdot \frac{dr}{dt}\\100 = 100 \pi \cdot \frac{dr}{dt}\\1 \pi= \pi \cdot \frac{dr}{dt}\\ \frac{dr}{dt} = 1ft/min[/tex]

Hence the rate at which the balloon's radius is increasing at the instant the radius is 5 ft is [tex]1ft/min[/tex]

B) The formula for finding the surface area of the spherical balloon is expressed as;

[tex]S = 4 \pi r^2[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dS}{dt} = \frac{dS}{dr} \cdot \frac{dr}{dt} \\\frac{dS}{dt} = 8 \pi r \cdot \frac{dr}{dt} \\\frac{dS}{dt} = 8 \pi (5) \cdot 1 \\\frac{dS}{dt} =40 \pi ft^2/min[/tex]

This shows that the surface area is increasing at a rate of 40π ft²/min at the instant the radius is 5 ft.
