Multiplying a(x) and b(x) together results in a quadratic equation (a trinomial). This trinomial looks like (a·b)(x) = (2)(x - 2)(x + 2). Note that this is a "special product;" (2)(x^2 - 4); there is no middle term.

Differentiating with respect to time

Basic Power Rule:

f(x) = cxⁿ
f’(x) = c·nxⁿ⁻¹

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

$l = 30 \ cm\\w = l\\\frac{dl}{dt} = 2 \ cm/h\\h = 20 \ cm\\\frac{dh}{dt} = 3 \ cm/h$

Step 2: Differentiate

Rewrite [VRP]: $V = l^2h$
Differentiate [Basic Power Rule]: $\frac{dV}{dt} = 2l\frac{dl}{dt} \frac{dh}{dt}$

Step 3: Solve for Rate

Substitute: $\frac{dV}{dt} = 2(30 \ cm)(2 \ cm/h)(3 \ cm/h)$
Multiply: $\frac{dV}{dt} = 360 \ cm^3/h$

Here this tells us that our volume is decreasing (ice melting) at a rate of 360 cm³ per hour.
