Progress 2

Well my group is catching up pretty quickly. We completed the last 2 charts so we officially have all 8 done. We also found our X minimum and maximum as well as out Y minimum and maximum. All we have left to do is to graph which is becoming a little complicated because we have to find the perfect number to go by on the Y axis. We went by 2's on the X axis.
I generalized by what I got for the X is which I then put together to get the generalized form because that was what i was going to need in order to graph my calculations. For UPS (165 in), the Y axis goes by 20,000's and the X axis goes by 2's for Fed Ex Express the Y goes by 1,000's and the X goes by 1's. I organized my data into different tables by using different numbers and shapes. The number we used were consecutive. Ex: 2,3,4, and x. X because that was going to help me get to the generalized form. 
When I plugged in all four of my generalized forms for UPS my volume's were very close to each other almost on top of each other. For Fed Ex Express the volumes were basically the same because they were on top of each other. In order to see the ticks on the calculator and be able to graph I had to change the X and Y scales using the window settings.
I don't remember what was the exact maximum values because I forgot my papers in school but I'm hoping I wrote enough to understand.

Homework 3/2/10

Well this really isn't much to say but that my group is behind but we are 2 tables away from finding the Y minimum and maximum as well as the X minimum and maximum. We're are calculating for UPS (165 in) and Fed Ex Express (130 in); Meaning UPS v.s Fed Ex Express. In order to get passed these last couple of steps I had to learn exactly what I had to do being that I was a little behind but, I finally understand how to get the graph filled out quickly and what I have to do to get the height length and width as well as the girth. So due to this, I'm back on track.. If anything i'll ask more questions so I exceed the expectations.
