Progress Update 2
- How did you "generalize?"
Well I generalize my equation by first figuring out how much my width went up by. Then all I really had was to replace the number with the X value and find how much was the girth in which was h+h+w+w in which equal the girth. I actually found this very easy because the chart I had made before generalize it helped me a lot.
- How did you set up your axes when graphing?
The way I set up my axes when I was graphing was by making a table. In this table I wrote down the maximum, the minimum and how much I should go up by. It was very easy once I had all my charts in front of me.
- How did you organize your data into different tables?
The way I organize my data into different tables in keeping track of all the number I was going up by and working as a group with my partner. When I started to graph it became a bit more harder in keeping track of the numbers and dots, so I used different colors to help me organize my graphs and number. This really helped me a lot and when I do start my PBAT i'm going to organize it the same way.
- What did you discover when you put all your finding together ?
When I put all my findings together I discovered that when the height is the same as the width it is going to equal the maximum volume. But as the width get bigger the volume gets smaller. I proved this by putting the height and the width the same for one equation and in the other I changed it. This is how I checked my findings. I was actually a bite surprised at my finding but happy I finish. I think this has really helped me prepare for my PBAT and i'm really looking forward to starting my project.
