Function

misconceptions and the whole process has been eye-opening with regards to the number of things to consider in my own planning for these “mock” teaching scenarios.Turning to the article on functions by NCTM, I was reminded of my own mathematics learning experiences in middle and high school. I feel as if my understanding of functions (prior to college mathematics) was never fully developed. I’m not sure if we were even shown a “puddle” or “mapping” diagram in any of my secondary math classes;…

Pancreas Functions and Mal-Functions The Pancreas is a very essential gland within the human body. The pancreas has both endocrine functions as well as exocrine functions. Commonly referenced as a dual function gland. The pancreas is a rather large, solid gland that is roughly 10 inches long. It is located behind the stomach in the abdominal cavity. The shape of the pancreas is described as tadpole like. This essay will describe the functions of the pancreas along with the problems caused if…

• What information did you not know before? I actually did know some of these items, or at least the terms, previously but not in the sense that they were presented to us this week. I was familiar with vertices, edges, and the formal notation of a graph. I didn’t have an appreciation for how graphs could be applied to creating and managing associations with various items by applying them as vertices or edges in a way beyond their representation as numeric coordinates. • What information was…

Related rates are used in a wide variety of different scenarios from finding how large a spill is increasing, to how fast it may take to empty something. Related rates deal with time, usually have two different variables like height, length, radius, or width; and have something that is changing like area, distance, or volume. In order to solve related rates problems you need to be able to recall or have access to basic geometry formulas like circle, cone, cylinder, rectangle, triangle and…

thinking, I have chosen to examine my video from 2:45 – 3:25. During this time, I asked students for their answers to the problem given to them and their reasoning for this answer. In essence, I was hoping to target students’ knowledge of inverse functions and how they applied it to solving a situational problem. More specifically, if they were able to find the error in a solution of an inverse algebraic problem and explain their reasoning for this error. Moreover, once a student was able to…

Functions of protein TP53 TP53 has a general name called tumor suppressor protein p53. Tp53 has many names such as phosphoprotein p53, cellular tumor antigen p53, tumor suppressor p53, antigen NY-CO-13, or transformation-related protein 53 (TRP53). Also, TP53 has also been referred to as the guardian of the genome [19]. In 1979, scientists first observed the gene by using SDS-PAGE and found it has a size of about 53-kilodalton (kDa). The location of the TP53 gene is at chromosome 17, at…

Determining the lung function by Pulmonary Function Test: Lung function can be determined by Pulmonary Function Test (PFT), normally done by using a spirometer. Pulmonary function test by a spirometer essentially measures : Tidal volume (TV): This is the volume of air ventilated during normal breathing. Vital capacity (VC): This is the total volume…

Firefighting is one of fifteen main Emergency Support Functions (ESF) established by the government to organize the response structure for any type of emergency or disaster. These functions break down the response by the aspect of protection covered but, all have the end result of “providing support, resources, program implementation, and services that are most likely needed to save lives, protect property and the environment, restore essential services and critical infrastructure, and help…

The following media (Brakes) explains about the functions and types of brakes. Original OST In this media, you will learn about ‘Brakes’. Brake: Brake is one of the vital control parts of a vehicle. Brakes are needed to stop the vehicle in the least possible distance and this can be done by transforming the wheels kinetic energy into the heat energy. The heat energy is scattered into the atmosphere. Functions of Brakes There are two functions of the brakes. They are: 1. Brakes are used…

Sex and The Brain: Neurophysiological Structures and Functions Much research has been conducted on the topic of sex in recent years due to the lack of research and explanation given to it. Schools, religions, and parental figures have all done much to prevent youth to experience these types of physical activities. Lectures about abstinence have hidden the reality of sex by telling people about STD’s and sinful natures, which is necessary in their own respect but not a worthy conclusion to the…
