Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the Tootsie Roll lollipop is a sphere
volume of sphere= [tex]\frac{4}{3}piR^3[/tex] = -0.25 [tex]in^3/min[/tex]
the negative sign indicates that the volume is decreasing
upon differentiating
as the diameter given is =0.75 so radius will be = 0.375
[tex]dV/dt = 4piR^2*dR/dt[/tex]
so [tex]dR/dt = 0.25/4*3.14 *(0.375)^2[/tex]
So the radius is decreasing at the rate of dR/dt= 0.142in/min
