Answer

$\Phi = -16~N~m^2/C$

Work Step by Step

$E = 4.0 \hat{i}+3.0(y^2+2.0)~\hat{j}$ Note that the electric flux through the top face and the bottom face is zero, since the z component of the electric field is zero. We can find the electric flux through the back face: $\Phi = (4.0)~\hat{i}~\cdot -A~\hat{i}$ $\Phi = -4.0~A$ $\Phi = -(4.0)~(2.0~m)^2$ $\Phi = -16~N~m^2/C$
