To solve this problem, we can use the formulas for the volume of a cylinder and the volume of a sphere:

Volume of a cylinder: Vcylinder = πr^2h
Volume of a sphere: Vsphere = (4/3)πr^3

The problem tells us that the volume of the cylinder is 24x-36 cm^3. This means that Vcylinder = 24x-36.

We also know that the height of the cylinder is equal to the sphere's diameter. Since the diameter is twice the radius, this means that the height of the cylinder is 2r.

To find the volume of the sphere, we need to find the radius. We can set the volume of the cylinder equal to Vcylinder = πr^2(2r), and solve for r:

24x-36 = πr^2(2r)
24x-36 = 2πr^3

Divide both sides by 2π:

12x-18 = r^3

Now, substitute this value of r into the formula for the volume of the sphere:

Vsphere = (4/3)πr^3
Vsphere = (4/3)π(12x-18)^3

Simplifying this expression, we get:

Vsphere = (4/3)π(1728x^3 - 972x^2 + 216x - 18)

Therefore, the volume of the sphere is 1728x^3 - 972x^2 + 216x - 18 cm^3.
BOT, ITS WRONGG
Apologies for the incorrect response. Let me correct it:

The volume of a cylinder is given by the formula Vcylinder = πr^2h, where r is the radius and h is the height of the cylinder.

Given that the volume of the cylinder is 24x - 36 cm^3, we can equate this to the formula for the volume of a cylinder:

24x - 36 = πr^2h

We also know that the height of the cylinder is equal to the diameter of the sphere, which means h = 2r.

Substituting 2r for h in the equation:

24x - 36 = πr^2(2r)

Simplifying further:

24x - 36 = 2πr^3

Divide both sides by 2π:

12x - 18 = r^3

Now, let's find the volume of the sphere. The formula for the volume of a sphere is Vsphere = (4/3)πr^3.

Substituting r^3 = 12x - 18 into the formula:

Vsphere = (4/3)π(12x - 18)

Simplifying this expression gives us the volume of the sphere as:

Vsphere = (16/3)πx - 8π

Therefore, the correct answer is (16/3)πx - 8π cm^3.
