2. Creative Candles wants to design an open-top box with a volume V of at least 150 cubic inches that can hold any of several different candles. The box will be formed by cutting squares of length x from the corners of a rectangular piece of cardboard 12 inches wide and 15 inches long, and turning up the sides. 

a. Find the domain of the function V based on the x-values that result in a box. 

b. Write and solve a polynomial inequality to find all possible side lengths x of the squares that satisfy the company’s volume requirement for the box.
