Here's the solution for question 4.

  1. Define the initial and final volumes and radii.

    Let the initial volume of the spherical balloon be V0V_0 and its initial radius be r0r_0.
    Let the final volume be V1V_1 and its final radius be r1r_1.
    The formula for the volume of a sphere is V=43πr3V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3.
    So, we have:

    V0=43πr03V_0 = \frac{4}{3}\pi r_0^3 V1=43πr13V_1 = \frac{4}{3}\pi r_1^3
  2. Express the new volume (V1V_1) in terms of the initial volume (V0V_0) using the given percentage increase.

    The volume increases by 18p%18p\%. This means the new volume is the original volume plus 18p%18p\% of the original volume.

    V1=V0+18p100V0V_1 = V_0 + \frac{18p}{100}V_0 V1=V0(1+18p100)V_1 = V_0 \left(1 + \frac{18p}{100}\right)
  3. Substitute the volume formulas from Step 1 into the equation from Step 2.

    43πr13=43πr03(1+18p100)\frac{4}{3}\pi r_1^3 = \frac{4}{3}\pi r_0^3 \left(1 + \frac{18p}{100}\right)
  4. Solve for r1r_1 in terms of r0r_0.

    Divide both sides of the equation by 43π\frac{4}{3}\pi:

    r13=r03(1+18p100)r_1^3 = r_0^3 \left(1 + \frac{18p}{100}\right)

    Take the cube root of both sides:

    r1=r03(1+18p100)3r_1 = \sqrt[3]{r_0^3 \left(1 + \frac{18p}{100}\right)} r1=r0(1+18p100)1/3r_1 = r_0 \left(1 + \frac{18p}{100}\right)^{1/3}
  5. Calculate the percentage change in radius.

    The percentage change in radius is given by the formula:

    Percentage change=Change in radiusOriginal radius×100%\text{Percentage change} = \frac{\text{Change in radius}}{\text{Original radius}} \times 100\% Percentage change=r1−r0r0×100%\text{Percentage change} = \frac{r_1 - r_0}{r_0} \times 100\%

    Substitute the expression for r1r_1 from Step 4:

    Percentage change=r0(1+18p100)1/3−r0r0×100%\text{Percentage change} = \frac{r_0 \left(1 + \frac{18p}{100}\right)^{1/3} - r_0}{r_0} \times 100\%

    Factor out r0r_0 from the numerator:

    Percentage change=r0[(1+18p100)1/3−1]r0×100%\text{Percentage change} = \frac{r_0 \left[ \left(1 + \frac{18p}{100}\right)^{1/3} - 1 \right]}{r_0} \times 100\% Percentage change=[(1+18p100)1/3−1]×100%\text{Percentage change} = \left[ \left(1 + \frac{18p}{100}\right)^{1/3} - 1 \right] \times 100\%

    The percentage change in its radius is [(1+18p100)1/3−1]×100%\boxed{\left[ \left(1 + \frac{18p}{100}\right)^{1/3} - 1 \right] \times 100\%}.
