Answer to Problem 30E

The derivative of volume with respect to radius is dVdr=4πr2 .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The volume of a sphere as a function of radius r is given by V(r)=4π3r3 . We have to find derivative of volume with respect to radius and show change in volume V=V(r+r)V(r) with geometrical diagram, to give geometrical interpretation of the derivative, and to tell if units make sense.

Method/Formulaused:

The derivative of the function y=Cxn , C constant is dydx=Cnxn1 .

Calculations:

The volumeof sphere of radiusris given by

  V(r)=4π3r3  ... (1)

Differentiating equation (1) with respect to ‘ r’ , we have

  dVdr=4π3×3r2=4πr2  ... (2)

The derivative of volume gives the change in volume of a sphere relative to the radius.

Let initially the radius of a sphere is r and changed to r+r , then change in volume is

  V=V(r+r)V(r)  ... (3)

  V=4π3(r+r)34π3(r)3=4π3[(r+r)3(r)3]

  V=4π3[r3+(r)3+3rr(r+r)r3]=4π3[(r)3+3r2r+3r(r)2]

Thus, V(r+r)V(r)=4π3[(r)3+3r2r+3r(r)2] .

Now, V(r+r)V(r)r=4π3[(r)2+3r2+3r(r)]

Since (r)2 is very small quantity so can be neglected, therefore,

Let we write V(r+r)V(r)r=Vr

  limr0Vr=limr04π3[(r)2+3r2+3r(r)]

  limr0Vr=4π33r2=4πr2

  dVdr=4πr2limr0Vr=dVdr .

The change in volume of sphere with radiusis geometrically shown in Figure-1 here,

Interpretation of derivative geometrically:

It is given that the volume of sphere is a function of its radius. The graph of Vasthe function r is shown in Figure-2.

We consider two points P(r,V) and Q(r+r,V+V) . Clearly line PQ is secant and it will become a tangent when QPr0 .

Let QPN=θ , then from Figure-2, tanθ=QNPN=Vr .

Now the secant PQ becomes tangent,then taking limit as r0 , we have limr0tanθ=limr0Vr

  tanθ=dVdr . But tanθ is the slope of tangent to the curve at point P.

Thus, the derivative of V with respect to radius r represents the slope of the tangent line at a point of the curve,

  Modeling the Dynamics of Life: Calculus and Probability for Life Scientists, Chapter 2.5, Problem 30E , additional homework tip  2

The unit of V is the as that of volume V and the unit of r is same as that of radius r therefore the unit of the derivative is unit of volume divided by the unit of radius.

Conclusion:

The derivative of volume with respect to radius is dVdr=4πr2 .
