1. One thing that this year's math class help me was with the exponents and trigonemtry. It helped me because I didnt know too much about it before now it jogged my memory and I feel like I matster exponents.
2. Yes because I may get a job opportunity.
3. We need more teaches to actually help us and started the PBAT earlier to give them more time for practice for presenting it.

Exit Slip Lesson 9
1. Application: How is your new surface area function going to be used for this PBAT? What is the ultimate goal of finding this new function?
This is going to help me in case I would want to change my height. It'll also help me when i want to simplify the function without writing out the surface area and area altogether. The ultimate goal in writing a new surface area is to complete a new surface area for my own can instead of using variables to substitute for my numbers.
2. Multiple Representation: How would you use this function to visually represent the relationship between the height and surface area of your can?
I would use this function to create different heights instead of completing changing mty whole surface area.

Exit Slip Lesson 8
1.Why is it necessary for us to combine two formulas?
Because we may want to add another can and that would include another surface area. I may add another can to change the height.
2.Connection: What would you need to do if you apply the same skill to your can?
Because I may want to change the height of my can and i would need to also change the surface area also. So we need to know how to simplify each formula.

Lesson 6 Solving for the "Height"
The most important concept of today's lesson was trying to find the height when you are given the radius and volume. The concept i think helped me the most was the fact that, we were given only certain sides of the cylinder while others were missing. We were able to find out a formula to find a missing unit of a cylinder. What i notice about the height was that was when the radius increased the height decreased and the volume stayed the same obviously.

Exit Slip Lesson 3
The two lines are the the same because they both have the same curve except the first equation is positive and the second equation is negative. Also, the function are identical except that the blue formula is has a negative three (-3).

Exit Slip: April 9th
1. What was one major idea that you learned today?
I learned how to use the spreadsheet to create graphs. Also i learned how to make a graph without using a calculator.
2. What is one major problem that you had today and how would you, by yourself, handle it next time?
The only problem i had was remembering the steps in creating a graph. Next time, i know to write down some notes to help me remember what i have to do.

Math Review: FedEx Express
I generalized by using the equation to find volume. I used the format that I used to create my table for FedEx Express. First I chose a random pattern of numbers ranging from -10 to 25. And I labeled them as x. I made my x the same as the height of the box. Then to find my width, I used the formula 3(x) . Then I substituted x in the formula 3(x) and got my numbers for the width. After I found out the width. I had the numbers to find out what the length of my box is. Since I had the width and the height. Now I had to subtract the sum of the width and the height from the total which is 130. And I got my length. After I came up with my length, I went to find out my volume and then generalized it to make a function. I, then, plugged in the function into the calculator. Into the "y=" and press graph. Then after I pressed graph. A 3-dimensional line graph appeared and then I pressed 2nd..graph. And there was a table. I matched the table up with my written table. After that, I made a table. (My Y-maximum was 120,000, my Y-minimum was -120,000, my X-maximum was 36 and my X-minimum was -36) I plotted my points and noticed that each one of my group's calculations and graphing was nearly the same. Each one of them were 3-dimensional lines going the same way, just different vertex.
