Question:

The formula V = kr4, discovered by the physiologist Jean Poiseuille (1797–1869), allows us to predict how much the radius of a partially clogged artery has to be expanded in order to restore normal blood flow. The formula says that the volume V of blood flowing through the artery in a unit of time at a fixed pressure is a constant k times the radius of the artery to the fourth power. How will a 10% increase in r affect V?
