Question 264159: The volume of a cube with sides of length s is given by V = s^3. Find the rate of change of the volume with respect to s when s = 2 centimeters.
V '(2) = _____ cm2
i found the derivative to be V'= 3s^2 so V'(2)= 36?

The volume of a cube with sides of length s is given by V = s^3. Find the rate of change of the volume with respect to s when s = 2 centimeters.
V '(2) = _____ cm2
i found the derivative to be V'= 3s^2 so V'(2)= 36?
--------------
Your method is good, but
V'(2) = 3*2^2 = 12
