Chapter 2: Problem 89

What happens to the volume of a sphere if its radius is doubled?

Short Answer

Expert verified
When the radius of a sphere is doubled, its volume becomes 8 times larger.

Step by step solution

01

Understand the problem

You are asked to solve what happens to the volume of a sphere when its radius is doubled. The volume of a sphere can be calculated using the formula \(V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 \).
02

Double the Radius

Let's double the radius, meaning instead of \(r\) we will use \(2r\) in the formula. So the formula will look like this: \(V_{new} = \frac{4}{3}\pi (2r)^3\).
03

Simplify the expression

When you simplify the expression, you'll get \(V_{new} = \frac{4}{3} \pi 8r^3\). Then, you can simplify it further to \(V_{new} = 8(\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3)\). Key point to notice here is that \(\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3\) is the original volume of the sphere.
04

Compare the new volume to the original volume

Here \(V_{new}\) is 8 times the original volume \(V\). So, when the radius of a sphere is doubled, its volume becomes 8 times larger.

In Massachusetts, speeding fines are determined by the formula $$F=10(x-65)+50,$$ where \(F\) is the cost, in dollars, of the fine if a person is caught driving \(x\) miles per hour. Use this formula to solve. If a fine comes to \(\$ 400,\) how fast was that person driving?

The price of a color printer is reduced by \(30 \%\) of its original price. When it still does not sell, its price is reduced by \(20 \%\) of the reduced price. The salesperson informs you that there has been a total reduction of \(50 \% .\) Is the salesperson using percentages properly? If not, what is the actual percent reduction from the original price?
