Final answer:
The volume of the box can be expressed using the formula V = a*(11-2a)*(13-2a). The domain of the function is 0 <= x <= 5.5 and the range is V >= 0.
Step-by-step explanation:
To express the volume of the box in terms of the side length of the square cutout, you can use the formula V = a*(11-2a)*(13-2a), where V represents the volume and a represents the side length of the square cutout.
For part b, the function formula for f(x) will be f(x) = x*(11-2x)*(13-2x).
The domain of f(x) is the set of all possible values of x that make the formula valid, which in this case is 0 <= x <= 5.5.
The range of f(x) is the set of all possible values of the volume, which in this case is V >= 0.
