Question

the volume of a cube decreases at a rate of \\(8\text{ m}^3/\text{s}\\). find the rate at which the side of the cube changes when the side of the cube is \\(2\text{ m}\\). answer exactly or round to 2 decimal places.

the side of the cube changes at a rate of \\(\text{m}/\text{s}\\)

Explanation:

Relate volume and side length

$$ V = s^3 $$

Differentiate with respect to time

$$ \frac{dV}{dt} = 3s^2 \frac{ds}{dt} $$

Substitute given values and solve

$$ LATEXBLOCK0 $$

Answer:

The volume of a cube decreases at a rate of \(8\text{ m}^3/\text{s}\). Find the rate at which the side of the cube changes when the side of the cube is \(2\text{ m}\). Answer exactly or round to 2 decimal places.

The side of the cube changes at a rate of <blank>\(-2/3\)</blank> \(\text{m}/\text{s}\)
