Divide and Ride by Stuarty J. Murphy.
Book :Divide and Ride
By: Stuart J. Murphy
In his Book, 11 kids are going to a carnival. When they got to the carnival, the decided that they were riding a roller coaster which is name: "Dare Devil." This ride has 6 seats and each seat can have two children. Because there are only 11 kids, the last seat is missing one kids in order for all the seats to be filled. To fulfill the last seat, they ask a kid they didn't know in order for all the seats to be filled.
For this story, I am relating this into domain because there is a limited amount of seats for this ride. This means that realistically speaking the roller coaster cannot seat more 12 kids. So the domain for this roller coaster is (0,12).
I can also relate this to the slopes at different points of the roller coaster's spins and heights. Of course there are different slopes at different time in the roller coaster.
I believe that literature is effective because it not only uses one's reason or logic to develop and solve a problem. It involves detailed information about a problem that enables not only your logic but more parts of your brain in order to solve the problems.

I thought the way you related this situation with mathematical concepts of domain was creative. Domain concept applies to many situations in life, since there is always a restrictions, or limit capacities to things such as transportation and much more.

ReplyDeletereally nice job of explaining the book. i like that you journeyed outside the box of thinking and showed how this text can be applied to the concept of domain and range. additionally, in regards to talking about the different slopes at different points of the coaster, you could also relate this to periodic functions!
nice job!
