OpenStudy (chris215):

I got the volume of the box is decreasing at a rate of 144 cm3/min

OpenStudy (anonymous):

will u medal

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

\(V = x^2 h\) \(\dot V = 2 x \dot x h + x^2 \dot h\) \(= 2(12)(2)6 + (12)^2 1 = \dots\)

OpenStudy (chris215):

what I solved that and got 432

OpenStudy (chris215):

I dont think thats the right answer though because that's not an answer choice

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

Would the answer happen to be -144? Checking if I did the math right... if so, ill walk you through it

OpenStudy (chris215):

yeah thats what i got so I said decreasing at a rate of 144 cm^3/min

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

That's the only way I see it, since it looks like a related rates problem with a product rule derivative

OpenStudy (chris215):

thank you!!

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

it's -144 if \(\dot x = \color{red}{-}2\) but that's not what the original question as it was posted stated.
