Answer:

The value of x = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(i):-

Given that g(x) = 2 x + 4 and g (x ) = -8

⇒ Equating

2 x +4 = - 8

Subtracting '4' on both sides, we get

2 x + 4 - 4 = -8 -4

⇒ 2 x + 0 = -12

⇒ 2 x = -12

Step(ii):-

Dividing '2' on both sides, we get

x = -6

The value of x = -6

What you need to look for is $\frac { dr }{ dt }$ when r=8.

Now:

$Volume\quad of\quad a\quad sphere:\\ \\ V=\frac { 4 }{ 3 } \pi { r }^{ 3 }$

$\therefore \quad \frac { dV }{ dr } =\frac { 4 }{ 3 } \pi \cdot 3{ r }^{ 2 }=4\pi { r }^{ 2 }\\ \\ \therefore \quad \frac { dr }{ dV } =\frac { 1 }{ \frac { dV }{ dr } } =\frac { 1 }{ 4\pi { r }^{ 2 } }$

$And:\\ \\ \frac { dV }{ dt } =-\frac { 256\pi }{ 3 } \\ \\ Therefore:\\ \\ \frac { dr }{ dt } =\frac { dr }{ dV } \cdot \frac { dV }{ dt }$

$\\ \\ =\frac { 1 }{ 4\pi { r }^{ 2 } } \cdot -\frac { 256\pi }{ 3 } \\ \\ =-\frac { 256 }{ 12 } \cdot \frac { \pi }{ \pi } \cdot \frac { 1 }{ { r }^{ 2 } }$

$\\ \\ =-\frac { 64 }{ 3{ r }^{ 2 } } \\ \\ When\quad r=8,\\ \\ \frac { dr }{ dt } =-\frac { 64 }{ 3\cdot { 8 }^{ 2 } } =-\frac { 1 }{ 3 } \\ \\ Answer:\quad -\frac { 1 }{ 3 } \quad cm/sec$
