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.

Team George Clooney
When the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) warned that their air transportations to help war-torn Darfur, Sudan, would soon stop due to lack of funds, George Clooney stepped up with his charity group Not On Our Watch by contributing $6.24 million to keep their air transport operations going.George Clooney's Hope For Haiti telethon delivered all the best of the world's A-List talent in the fields of TV, movies and music - and then some. - begging for help for the impoverished Caribbean nation that was all but destroyed when a powerful 7.0 magnitude earthquake hit on Tuesday January 12th.George Clooney and Leonardo DiCaprio are opening up their wallets to help victims in the earthquake-ravaged Haiti.
Clooney is donating $1 million to Friday's "Hope for Haiti Now" celebrity telethon. He officially made his donation during the telecast.George Clooney met with President Obama and Vice President Biden separately at the White House and they told him they would appoint a full-time, high-level envoy on Darfur that would report directly to the White House.George has stood in line with pals Matt Damon and Brad Pitt for a chance to make a difference with the ONE campaign, fighting AIDS and extreme poverty on a global scale. He has also supported Rock for Darfur, a series of concerts put on by MySpace in which money raised went to Oxfam’s Sudan Crisis Relief and Rehabilitation Fund.He’s also a strong supporter of Save Darfur, and pleaded with the U.N. Security Council to step in and find a solution for the situation in Sudan’s Darfur region, calling it the first holocaust of the 21st century.
"We were brought up to believe that the U.N. was formed to ensure that the Holocaust couldnever happen again."
