A box is made by cutting out squares of side x from an 8 in by 12 in piece of cardboard. The polynomial function V(x) = (8 - 2x)(12 - 2x)(x) represents the volume of box for any size square x. Multiply this expression to find the standard form for this polynomial function.

Select one:
a. V(x) = 4x3 - 32x2 + 96x
b. V(x) = -4x3 + 96x
c. V(x) = -x3 - 96
d. V(x) = x3 - 32x2 + 96x

What you're going to want to do is multiply the function. Since you're gonna have to multiply them twice just pick two, then multiply the result by the remaining one.
