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?
In Problems 21–32, determine the maximum number of real zeros that each polynomial function may have. Then list the potential rational zeros of each polynomial function. Do not attempt to find the zeros.
Factor the expression.
