Example Question #721 : How To Find Rate Of Change

A spherical balloon is being filled with air. What is the rate of growth of the sphere's surface area when the radius is 2 and the rate of change of the radius is 4?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Let's begin by writing the equation for the surface area of a sphere with respect to the sphere's radius:

The rate of change can be found by taking the derivative of each side of the equation with respect to time:
