The problem seems incomplete or has some unclear parts. From what I can interpret, you are discussing the volume of a cone and the average rate of change of the volume concerning the radius. Let me first state the volume formula for a cone and work through the idea.

Volume of a cone formula:

$V = \frac{1}{3} \pi R^2 H$ where:

• $V$ is the volume of the cone,
• $R$ is the radius of the cone's base,
• $H$ is the height of the cone.

Given:

• You mentioned the height is unchanged (constant),
• You're finding how much the radius has increased from 2,
• The average rate of change of volume is $8\pi H / 3$.

Let's use this information and try to form a meaningful equation.

1. Start with the volume formula for the cone:
   $V = \frac{1}{3} \pi R^2 H$

2. The rate of change of the volume with respect to the radius is given by: $\frac{dV}{dR} = \frac{2}{3} \pi R H$

You are likely referring to the average rate of change between two different radii, say $R_1 = 2$ and $R_2$ (which we are looking for).

The average rate of change of volume over the interval $[R_1, R_2]$ is: $\text{Average rate of change} = \frac{V(R_2) - V(R_1)}{R_2 - R_1}$

Given that the average rate of change is $8\pi H / 3$, we have: $\frac{V(R_2) - V(2)}{R_2 - 2} = \frac{8\pi H}{3}$

Now, substitute the volume formula: $\frac{\left(\frac{1}{3} \pi R_2^2 H - \frac{1}{3} \pi (2)^2 H\right)}{R_2 - 2} = \frac{8\pi H}{3}$

Simplify the equation: $\frac{\frac{1}{3} \pi H (R_2^2 - 4)}{R_2 - 2} = \frac{8\pi H}{3}$

Cancel out $\pi H$ from both sides: $\frac{R_2^2 - 4}{3(R_2 - 2)} = \frac{8}{3}$

Multiply both sides by 3: $\frac{R_2^2 - 4}{R_2 - 2} = 8$

Now, simplify the left-hand side: $R_2^2 - 4 = 8(R_2 - 2)$ $R_2^2 - 4 = 8R_2 - 16$ $R_2^2 - 8R_2 + 12 = 0$

Solve this quadratic equation using the quadratic formula: $R_2 = \frac{-(-8) \pm \sqrt{(-8)^2 - 4(1)(12)}}{2(1)}$ $R_2 = \frac{8 \pm \sqrt{64 - 48}}{2}$ $R_2 = \frac{8 \pm \sqrt{16}}{2}$ $R_2 = \frac{8 \pm 4}{2}$

Thus, we have two solutions: $R_2 = \frac{8 + 4}{2} = 6 \quad \text{or} \quad R_2 = \frac{8 - 4}{2} = 2$

Since we are finding how much the radius increased from 2, the solution is $R_2 = 6$.

Answer:

The radius increased from 2 to 6, meaning the increase is $6 - 2 = 4$.
