The weight, W (in pounds), of a dog is related to the amount, C (in cans), of food she consumes each day. The relationship is found to be W? = 4C² + 2C + 5980. The amount of food consumed each day is being increased at a rate of ½ can/day. At what rate is the dog's weight changing, w.r.t. time, when she is consuming 10 cans each day?
