I'm struggling with section a. This is my calculation:
The expression remains depend on the variable t, while in the answer is a concrete number:
The problem involves determining the rate at which the radius of a spherical balloon increases as it is being inflated with air.
The problem involves applying the chain rule and the volume formula for a sphere to derive an equation that relates the rate of change of the radius to the rate of change of the volume of the balloon.
You start by expressing the volume of the balloon as a function of its radius, then differentiate both sides of the volume equation with respect to time to obtain the differential equation relating the rates of change.
The solution to the differential equation involves isolating the rate of change of the radius on one side of the equation and integrating to find the expression for the rate at which the radius of the balloon is increasing.
This problem can be applied in various scenarios involving inflation or expansion, such as determining the rate at which a tumor grows or the rate at which a population increases.
