United Parcel Service has contracted you to design a closed box with a square base that has a volume of cubic inches. See the illustration.

Part (a): Express the surface areaS of the box as a function ofx.
Part (b): Using a graphing utility, graph the function found in part (a).
Part (c): What is the minimum amount of cardboard that can be used to construct the box?
Part (d): What are the dimensions of the box that minimize the surface are?
Part (e): Why might UPS be interested in designing a box that minimizes the surface area?
