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.

An elevator at a construction site has a maximum capacity of 2800 pounds. If the elevator operator weighs 265 pounds and each cement bag weighs 65 pounds, how many bags of cement can be safely lifted on the elevator in one trip?

Determine whether each statement "makes sense" or "does not make sense" and explain your reasoning. I prefer interval notation over set-builder notation because it takes less space to write solution sets.

Solve each inequality. Use a calculator to help with the arithmetic. $$126.8-9.4 y \leq 4.8 y+34.5$$

Determine whether each statement "makes sense" or "does not make sense" and explain your reasoning. I can check inequalities by substituting 0 for the variable: When 0 belongs to the solution set, I should obtain a true statement, and when 0 does not belong to the solution set, I should obtain a false statement.

Use properties of inequality to rewrite each inequality so that \(x\) is isolated on one side. $$-2 x-a \leq b$$
