The volume of a cantaloupe is approximated by
The volume is changing at a rate of about (Round to one decimal place as needed.)
Rounding to one decimal place, we find that the volume of the cantaloupe is changing at a rate of approximately
Step 1 :We are given a problem of related rates in calculus. The rate of change of the radius,
Step 2 :We know that the volume of a sphere is given by the formula
Step 3 :We can differentiate both sides of this equation with respect to time
Step 4 :Substituting the given values into this equation, we have
Step 5 :Calculating
Step 6 :Rounding to one decimal place, we find that the volume of the cantaloupe is changing at a rate of approximately
