An edge of a variable cube is increasing at the rate of 10 cm/s. How fast is the surface area increasing when the edge is 5 cm long?
An edge of a variable cube is increasing at the rate of 10 cm/s. How fast is the surface area increasing when the edge is 5 cm long?
- A. 600 cm²/s
- B. 300 cm²/s
- C. 1200 cm²/s
- D. 150 cm²/s
Answer: A) 600 cm²/s
Explanation: Surface Area S = 6x². dS/dt = 12x(dx/dt). Given dx/dt = 10 and x = 5. dS/dt = 12(5)(10) = 600 cm²/s.
