Answer: dr/dt = 9/(24pi)  cm per minute

9/(24pi) is approximately equal to 0.119366

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

Work Shown:

Given info

dS/dt = 18 cm^2/min is the rate of change of the surface area

r = 6 cm is the radius, from the fact that the diameter is 12 cm

--------

Use the surface area equation given, apply the derivative, plug in the given values and then isolate dr/dt which represents the rate of change for the radius

S = 4*pi*r^2

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

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

18 = 8*pi*6*dr/dt

18 = 48*pi*dr/dt

48pi*dr/dt = 18

dr/dt = 18/(48pi)

dr/dt = (9*2)/(24*2pi)

dr/dt = 9/(24pi)

The units are cm per minute, which can be written as cm/min.

4.65 x 10 to the 3rd power
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

(4.65 x 10)^3 = 100,544.625

Step-by-step explanation:

First, multiply 4.65 by 10

46.5

Now multiply this number by itself 3 times

46.5 x 46.5 = 2,162.25

2,162.25 x 46.5 = 100,544.625

So the answer is 100,544.625

Hope this helps :)
