The problem that my group and I had received was a problem about college freshmen accepting. We had to choose the best combination of out-of-state and in-state students to make the most profit out of with the least cost of work.
The best and quickest way to obtain the answer for this problem is to graph the constraints and shade in the feasible area. The feasible area is a area in which any point inside that area will meet the constraints.
The constraint that we had were...
y≥x(This is the constraints for the grade average coming out of high school.)
8000x+2000y≥2500000(This is the constraint for the amount of profit that students bring in.)
100x+200y≤85000(This is the constraints for the amount each student costs to take care of as far as dorm clean-up.)
The graph that we used is this.

The answer that we game the high school seniors was that bringing in 250 out-of-state students and 250 in-state students. My group and I believed that this was the best answer because it was the closest point inside the feasible area to the origin of the graph.
Each member in our group had a different role and and task that they are responsible to complete for when the seniors had came in.
Frank was our GeoGebra Guru and he was responsible on making the graph that we would present to the senior. He did a amazing job and created the graph that you see right now.
Jocelyn was our documenter, see was responsible of take copies and notes of everything that we did on our path to solving the problem. She did a good job and wrote down all of the main things like the constants and the units and points.
Liana was our facilitator, she didn't really preform that well because she is a shy person and not that outgoing. She did not affect us negatively nor positively.
I was the spokesperson and the skeptic of the group. I was responsible on explaining and persuading the seniors about the question and the right answer. For the previous practice problems, I played the important role of skeptic and basically what I had to do was to question the answers that the group gave me and make sure that their argument is very effective. For the senior presentation, the role of skeptic was not important. Since the seniors were there to question our answer, there was no use for the role.
Overall, I believe that our engagement with the clients went really well. We were give a current time limit to solve our problem and my group solved our problem before any other group because of our efficiency and our communicating skills. We gave a great pursuation to the client with at the end believed of our answer with asking only a few questions on the way. I believe that my group worked together very well. Everyone executed there roles perfectly to minimize the time of solving the problem and maximize the time to present the problem. One challenge that I would say that we sort of had was at the beginning when we were reading the problem. It was a little confusing to understand it at first and it was hard to find out what it was asking for. We overcame that obstacle by going over the problem slowly and helping each other understand it. Going back on my role, I believe that I was really good at answering the questions that the clients had.
