Consider the following problem:
The radius r, left parenthesis, t, right parenthesis of a cone is increasing at a rate of 3 centimeters per second and the height h, left parenthesis, t, right parenthesis of the cone is decreasing at a rate of 4 centimeters per second. At a certain instant t, start subscript, 0, end subscript, the radius is 8 centimeters and the height is 10 centimeters. What is the rate of change of the volume V, left parenthesis, t, right parenthesis of the cone at that instant?
