Step 1
Step 1: Given that the edge of the cube is increasing at a rate of 4 feet per minute, we can express the edge length as \(3 + 4m\), where \(m\) is the number of minutes elapsed. Show more…

A cube has an edge of 4 feet. The edge is increasing at the rate of 3 feet per minute. Express the volume of the cube as a function of m, the number of minutes elapsed. Hint: Remember that the volume of a cube is the cube (third power) of the length of a side.

The volume of a cube is increasing at the rate of $8 \mathrm{~cm}^{3} / \mathrm{s}$. How fast is the surface area increasing when the length of an edge is $12 \mathrm{~cm}$ ?
