Hi World of Blog!!!

Making a blog is something I've never imagine in my whole life....^__^. Thanks to this assignment I get the chance to do something that is beyond my expectation. During my school holidays about two months ago, i was very busy reading my friends' blog, very busy!!! =) Their blogs are very interesting and most of the story they posted teach me many lessons especially in life, which i have a lot to learn about. So, many people will think i will be influenced by my friends to create a blog of my own too. but unfortunately, they didn't manage to influenced me at all even there are some of my friends were. After the first day of school here in CPU, especially after Advanced Function class, i was so thrill to start doing the assignment. I was assign to create a blog of my own not about life but instead about ADVANCED FUNCTION....I was just like, whattttt??? It is possible??? at the same time thrill as well as i never thought of making a blog my whole life. Plus i do not know how. Even for this blog, i have my friend to help me. Credit to Siti Khadijah binti Muhammad Ariff for helping me, she's my housemate =). With her help, here i am writing my own blog as part of my homework.

Speaking of Advanced Function, this subject is quiet interesting. During high school, i only know two function: linear and quadratic. Now after attending Advanced Function class for almost two month, i found out that there are more two function. In fact there are more then two type of function and from those type of function there are more branches of function we can see. For this subject we will learn about the characteristics of each function, how to solve them, how to find the solution if they are inequality etc. Apart from that,


This is my first draft when I first started making this blog. See, i did not manage to finish it.....But now  I am getting use to it. See the differences before and after.

Making Connection With Rational Function and Equation.

OH mY GOD!!!! tHE Due date is today!! I haven't post the last sub chapter yet. Relax, take a deep breath.....PANIC!!! Ms. Joanne and Ms. Malar, please forgive me.....

This chapter is quite short. We can see an example of everyday life related to rational function. An example from the text book is, "Most of us know that getting closer in a concert means a better view, but it is also means more exposure to potential damage sound levels. The intensity, I, increase by what is known as the inverse square law, or reciprocal of the square of the distance, d, from the sound source, so that I=k/d^2. This law also applies to gravitational force and light intensity.", text book page 186. 

The question:

The intensity of sound, in watts per square metre, varies inversely as the square of the distance, in metres, from the source of the sound. The intensity of the sound from the loudspeaker at the distance of 2 m is 0.001W/m^2. 

a) Detemine a function to represent this relationship.

b) Graph this function.

c) What is the effect of halving the distance from the source of the sound.

__________________________________________________________________________________

The solutions: 

a) So, I=k/d^2, k is constant.

substitute I=0.001 and d=2 into the equation to find k.

I=k/d^2

0.001=k/(2)^2

0.001=k/4

k=0.001 x 4

k=0.004

So, I=0.004/d^2

b) The graph: 

The graph will looks like this, but the scale is different according to the equations. The y-axis represent the Intensity and the x-axis represent the distance. The equation of the graph should be written on the graph: I=0.004/d^2.

c) substitute 1/2d for d.

I= 0.004/(1/2)d^2

I= 0.004/(d^2/4)

I=4 x 0.004/d^2

Therefore if the distance is halved, the sound is four times as intense. In other word, the further you get to the stage of the concert the high the exposure to potentially damaging sound levels.

I have finish the question!!!Hope you all understand. I also hope you all can answer a similar question as this one, as most of the question is using the same method. 

oNE, Last thing, the special case: 

The special case is that there is discontinuous at a point where if we calculated manually we will say that it is the restriction and the vertical asymptote. But if we graph the function using the gc, we will see there is no discontinuous in the graph. If we want to identify which point is the discontinuous point we just have to substitute the value then see the result. If the the result does not approaches negative or positive infinity instead the results is a whole number, thus that value is the point where the discontinuous is. In other word, we can just say there is a hole at the point (x,y). This is an example of a graph with a hole.

That is all for chapter 3.5 and unfortunate it is the end for this chapter. Later I will see you all again in with chapter 7 ahead. I am looking forward to the next chapter that i will post in a few months time. Bye!!!
