Progress update 2

-Not having a complete understanding of the topic it became hard for me to generalize. Since I was confused at first, I had to ask Wan for help. Eventually I started generalizing by following the steps I did first when creating my table. -Instead of using numbers, I had to use the variable x and the girth. once I generalized I put the generalization for volume in my calculator, and recieved my table.
-When graphing I set up my axes by putting volume on the x axis and on the y axis I used my "x" values.
-For UPS I made a table and recorded X,length,width,height,volume,and girth. I repeated these steps for Fed Ex Express but my values of x differed ultimately changing the other components in the table.
When finally putting all our findings together I say that all our 3rd degree parabolas were around the same range. Being that they were all 3rd degree they had 2 turns.
