Math Report

The community box maker unit project was about trying to find the best design that works for both companys. my group only had 4 designs to compare because of lack of attendance for some .

1. UPS 165 ; w=h+2
2.FedEx Express 130 ; w=h+2

Danielle Lund designs were
1. Fedex Express 130 ; w=h
2. UPS 165 ; w=h

To complete my charts i had to generalize the length , girth , width , height and volume .
Fedex express my design was w=h+2 therefore my width was x+2 ; my girth was 4x+4; my Length was (130 -4x) my volume was (126-4x)(x+2)(x) Next i found the maximum x=13.4397
y=11927.8
For my UPS chart my design was w=h+2 . my width was x+2 ; my girth was 4x+2 ; my length was ( 165 -(4x+4) ; my volume was (165-4x+4))(x+2)(x).
the maximum was x=20.682 , y=20299.29
To make sure my volume expression was correct i typed it into the " y=" part on the calculater
and then pressed 2nd , GRAPH , a table came up then i checked to make sure my voulumes were correct .

On Danielle's chart she used Fedex express her design was w=h . she found the width which was x ; her length was (130-4x) ; her girth was 4x ; the volume came out to be (130-4x)(x)(x).
i found the maximum x= 21.666 , y=20342.593
She also used UPS her design was w=h. he found the width which was x ; her length was (165-4x); her girth was 4x ; the volume came out to be (165-4x)(x)(x) . the maximum was x= 27.5
y=41593.75 .

After finding all of these calculations i concluded that as the number you use gets smaller the max & min get increases .

Honestly , I feel that this project would have been easier if you put us in better groups .
I was confused because everybody was on different parts of the project. I wasn't behind. But i got it done , even though it was EXHAUSTING & VERY STRESSFUL .

Team Ruby Bridges

Ruby Bridges helped end segregation in schools. First black student in her elementary school , she also had to be brave & stand up to those who didnt want her there. her father didnt want her to attend the school because he feared them. Her mother wanted her to attend the school because she had a chance for a better education. The school name is called the
William Frantz School .

Famous Quote : "I now know that experience comes to us for a purpose, and if we follow the guidance of the spirit within us, we will probably find that the purpose is a good one. "
