### Linear Approximation of Volume Change in a Sphere

**Objective:**
Approximate the change in the volume of a sphere when its radius changes from \( r = 40 \, \text{ft} \) to \( r = 40.1 \, \text{ft} \). Use a linear approximation.

---

**Instructions:**
1. Start with the formula for the volume \( V \) of a sphere:
   \[
   V(r) = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3
   \]

2. Use linear approximation to estimate the change in volume \( \Delta V \).

**Given:**
When \( r \) changes from \( 40 \, \text{ft} \) to \( 40.1 \, \text{ft} \), calculate \( \Delta V \) using:
   \[
   \Delta V \approx f'(r) \Delta r
   \]
   where \( f(r) = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \).

**Calculation:** 
1. Find \( f'(r) \):

\[
f'(r) = \frac{d}{dr} \left( \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \right) = 4 \pi r^2
\]

2. Evaluate \( f'(r) \) at \( r = 40 \, \text{ft} \):

\[
f'(40) = 4 \pi (40)^2 = 4 \pi (1600) = 6400 \pi
\]

3. The change in \( r \), \( \Delta r \), is \( 0.1 \, \text{ft} \).

4. Therefore, the change in volume \( \Delta V \approx 6400 \pi \times 0.1 \).

5. Calculate the approximate change:

\[
\Delta V \approx 6400 \pi \times 0.1 = 640 \pi \, \text{cubic feet}
\]

Thus, the approximate change in volume \( \Delta V \) is \( 640 \pi \, \text{ft}^3 \).
