progress update 2
i generalize the table by putting x for x and when x is x so is the height for width i had to put +2 because my design was w=h+2 and then to find the girth was 4x+4 and for length i had to subtract the girth from the total and gave me 126-4x. For the volume i got (126-4x)(x+2)(x) and i got that by putting the legnth, width and height together. For my y axis i decided to go up by 600s and i got that by looking at the points in the graph and looking at the highest point and i did it up to 22800. for my x axis i went from -8 to 30 skipping by 2s. Then i got my maximum points by using the calculator and it gave me the maximum value for the fed ex express graph. when i compared the graphs for the maximum values there was something in common which was if the width is closer to the height than the volume is greater but if the width is further than the height than the volume decreases. Ifound this by putting all my information in one table and comparing the height the width and the volumes.

progress
the group progress is good i finish graphing the points for fed ex express. Ifound the points by putting the volume equation into the calculator which gave me the points. The volume equation I got by generilizing everything. For the graph i had to first look at the points in the calculator to figure out how much would my (y) axis would go up by. the figure out the same thing for the (x) axis. I ended up going by twos in the (x) axis and going by 600. I also found the maximum volume for all of the graphs and now all i have to do is put all my calculations together.

homework
my progress is good because i finish doing all 4 of the calculations for fed ex express and ups all im doing is finishing graphing the numbers for the fed ex express.
