Problem

Air is pumped into a spherical balloon at a rate of 75π cm3 ⁣ ⁣/ ⁣s75\pi\text{ cm}^{3}\!\!/\!\text{s}. What is the instantaneous rate of change of the radius when the radius is 6 cm6\text{ cm}? (a) 2536 cm/s\dfrac{25}{36}\text{ cm/s} (b) 4825 cm/s\dfrac{48}{25}\text{ cm/s} (c) 2548 cm/s\dfrac{25}{48}\text{ cm/s} (d) 2516 cm/s\dfrac{25}{16}\text{ cm/s}
