Progress 2

Hi Wan, my group and I are doing fine. Our guide through this project is our project we did before this one. We have all of our tables completed,we generalized and checked our answers with the calculators.The Graphs are almost done. On our graph it shows a thrid degree polynomial because we have three turns.

We are using FedEx express(130) and FedEx Ground(84). The designs we used are width=2x, width=3x, width=x+5,width=x+10, we used this for both shipping methods. We generalize by using X, the formula of Girth, formula of volume.For example, for FedEx Ground when X is equal to X height is also equal to X. The width will be X+5,length it will be 84-2(X+5+X).My formula for Girth will be 2(x+5+x). My formula for volume will be (84-(4X+10))*(x+5)*(x) because volume equals length*width*height.

We also checked eachother work to make sure everybody was on the same page. At this point the graphs are being processed. We scaled the graph by using the x and y axes. The X axes went up by one's and the Y axes went up by five thousand because we all had different volumes and different x's. So my grounp and I made a compromise. But for every design the tables were different all of our numbers were'nt constant. My maximum volume for X with FedEx Express is 19.3 my minium is 0 and the maximum is 20072.0. FedEx Ground my maximum for X is 11.6 and maximum for Y is 5314.8.Amanda's FedEx Express X maximum is 17.04469 and the Y is 19278.268. Her maximum for FedEx Ground X is 9.57 and her minium is 0. Her maximum for Y is 4816.9679My box for FedEx Express has more volume than amanda which makes her box flater, because her design was flatter than my design, my box had a bigger volume. My box for FedEx Ground is still bigger than amanda's which makes her box flater.

  1. "throgh" should be "through"

    Please edit for proper capitalization and spellings.

    "usedare?"

    Please give a detailed explanation including an example for: "We generalize by using X, the formula of Girth, formula of volume."

    Now that I think about how you said this, it's probably the opposite: "My box for FedEx Express has more volume than amanda which makes her box flater." Because her design was flatter than your design, your box had a bigger volume. What do you think?

    Also, can you break up your post into paragraphs, so that it's easier for readers to break up your ideas into understandable chunks?
