The volume of a spherical hot air balloon expands as the air
The volume of a spherical hot air balloon expands as the air inside the balloon is heated. The radius of the balloon, in feet, is modeled by a twice-differentiable function r of time t, where t is measured in minutes. For 0
Solution
a)t=5.4
r(5)=30 ft
r\'(5)=2
by tangent line approximation
r(5.4)=r(5)+ r\'(5)*(5.4-5)
r(5.4)=30+ (2)*(0.4)
r(5.4)=30+0.8
r(5.4)=30.8 feet
estamate is less than the true value
because slope r\'(t) is decreasing at t =5
b)V=(4/3)r3
V\'(t)=4r2r\'(t)
V\'(5)=4*302r\'(5)
V\'(5)=4*302(2)
V\'(5)=7200 feet3/minute
c)right sum
[0 to 12] r\'(t) dt (2*4)+(3*2)+(2*1.2)+(4*0.6)+(1*0.5)
[0 to 12] r\'(t) dt 19.3
[0 to 12] r\'(t) dt represents the change in radius of baloon in first 12 minutes in feet
d)right sum is less than [0 to 12] r\'(t) dt because r\'(t) is decreasing
