A closed rectangular box has dimensions of length n inches, width n+6 inches, and height n+2 inches. Write a polynomial function A(n) A ( n ) A(n) for the area of the largest side of the box.
A) A(n) =n2−2n+12A ( n ) = n ^ { 2 } - 2 n + 12A(n) =n2−2n+12
B) A(n) =−n2+6n+12A ( n ) = - n ^ { 2 } + 6 n + 12A(n) =−n2+6n+12
C) A(n) =n2−4n+12A ( n ) = n ^ { 2 } - 4 n + 12A(n) =n2−4n+12
D) A(n) =n2+4n+12A ( n ) = n ^ { 2 } + 4 n + 12A(n) =n2+4n+12
E) A(n) =n2+8n+12A ( n ) = n ^ { 2 } + 8 n + 12A(n) =n2+8n+12

Final Answer :
E
Explanation :
The largest side of the box will be the one with dimensions n+6n+6n+6 (width) and n+2n+2n+2 (height), so the area of the largest side is A(n)=(n+6)(n+2)=n2+8n+12A(n) = (n+6)(n+2) = n^2 + 8n + 12A(n)=(n+6)(n+2)=n2+8n+12 .
