Progress Update

As I said before in my last post my group and I are just now catching up and we will start to graph. We did four different designs for each company and prepared tables including x values, length, width, height, girth, total, and volume. We had to choose different x values for each design and whatever was x was the height, and width was 2X the height and to find the girth you had to add width plus height, width plus height. In order to find the length you had to subtract the total from girth which our total was 130 for Fed-ex Express. Then in order to find volume we had to multiply Length, Height, and Width. Then by generalizing for finding my function I had to substitute x maximum into the function in order to determine what my answer would be. My fuction was (130-6x)(x)(2x). The answer came out to 18082.30. All i need to do is to graph and I need to graph is my x values and the volume and I will update you...

Homework

My group was behind simply because we started off lacking group members...but now we are starting to catch up and hopefully we can finishing graphing by tomorrow...this is not easy and there are a lot of steps to follow and even more distracting for me because I do not like math..
