Question
The original 24 m edge length \(x\) of a cube decreases at the rate of 4 m/min.

a. What rate does the cube's surface area change, when \( x = 5 \) m?
b. What rate does the cube's volume change, when \( x = 5 \) m?

a. The surface area is changing at a rate of \(\boxed{\phantom{0}} \, \text{m}^2/\text{min}\).
(Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.)

b. The volume is changing at a rate of \(\boxed{\phantom{0}} \, \text{m}^3/\text{min}\).
(Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.)

Enter your answer in each of the answer boxes.
