Let x = the length of the side of the square to be cut from each corner of the original 4 X 6 piece of cardboard.
The dimensions of the base of the newly-formed box will be: (4 - 2x) X (6 - 2x) and, of course, the height will be x. Now you can write the function for the volume, V, of the newly-formed box, based on the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism (box): V = L*W*h
Simplify.
