Well my group is moving at an okay pace. We are using the other Box project we did before to help guide us in this project. We all have our tables, we are done with generalizing and checking them with calculators.Mygeneralized fromual for (130-(4x+20))*(x+10)*(X) from FEDEX EXPRESS and (84-(4x+20))*(x+10)*(X) for Ground.Some formulas we used were:Length= Girth- total,Girth= 2(height+width) and volume= length x width x height We are using the Fed Ex express (130) and FedEx Ground (84). The designs we used are Width= 2x,Width= 3x,Width= x+5 and Width= x+ 10(my design), we used it for both shipping methods (FedEx Express and FedEx Ground),We generalized by using x ,the formula of Girth,formula for volume. We also checked each others work just to make sure.
We are now graphing all 8 tables, it is hard because we most find a X-scale which we decided to go by ones and Y-scale,which we deiced to go by 5,000's we needed it to work for all our calculations. And we also have to type the tables.We also hope that our graph turns out to be a 3rd degree parabola. To determine our scales we compared every ones and realized Angela was the and we got it biggest so we know it had to be greater then 137,0000.
My maximum value Y for FedEx Ground is 4816.96779 and Max X= 9.57 for FedEx Express max Y is 19278.268 and MaxX is 17.04469. Sha'Eika max value Y for FedEx Express is 20072.0 and Max X 19.3.For FedEx Ground her Max X is 11.6 and Max Y 5314.8. For Express Sha'Eika has a bigger volume because her deign,making mines more flatter.For Ground the volumes is still smaller.
We organized it by doing different tables I kind of wondering how writing the paper is going to turn out, i have been thinking should we spilt the paper into different parts and then put it all together or just do it as a group. If we do it as a group we might have to come after school or lunch time. So the plan for Thursday is for Grace to finish the last part of graphing and the rest of us double check everything is correct. Angela start typing the tables and me and Sha'Eika start the paper OR at least have someone in the group start these things. We might need a few more days to finish the paper.
It took some time for us to all get on the same page put i think we are all doing a great job. We dived the jobs.Grace did a great job graphing and made up for the day she missed. This blog thing is really getting to me i am starting not to like it at all. I am willing to work in a group but i rather work alone.
