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 $12 \mathrm{~cm}$ ?

Introduction
A) Let V be the volume of a cube with side s. If ds/dt = 12, find dV/dt when s = 2. B) Let V be the volume of a sphere with radius r. If dr/dt = 7, find dV/dt when r = 3.

The length, $x,$ of the edge of a cube is increasing. (a) Write the chain rule for $\frac{d V}{d t},$ the time rate of change of the volume of the cube. (b) For what value of $x$ is $\frac{d V}{d t}$ equal to 12 times the rate of increase of $x ?$
