The volume of cube is increasing at 20.0 cm^3/min. At the instant when its volume is 729 cm^3, what is the rate of change of its edge? Round the answer to 3 decimal places.
----------
V = s^3

ds/dt = (1/3)*V^(-2/3)*dV/dt
ds/dt = (1/3)*729^(-2/3)*20
ds/dt = (20/3)/81 = 20/243
ds/dt =~ 0.0823 cm/min
