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.

  1. 1. Please read the comments that I made in your previous post.
    2. Please divide up your post into paragraphs for readers.
    3. Need to exercise proper capitalization and punctuation.
    4. Good use of an example to explain your process of generalization.
    5. More explanation is needed for "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."
