Sickness Graphs


Sickness Remedies: Jell-O, Tylenol, Li Hing Watermelons, and Water

On Tuesday, August 28th, 2007, my friends and I were in the pool office waiting for my friend, Marissa, to come so we could start our workout as a group, embracing the "One Team" spirit, although she goes to Punahou =P. One of my friends, Jodie, had some Sprite. Now I hadn't had any liquids since lunch and being a swimmer, my norm is being surrounded by liquid. So I ask her for some and she replies, "Yah yah go, but I'm sick." Thinking that I never get sick and therefore I'm invincible, I say, "Ah whatever," and take a sip...and another...and another. So I go home that night, and all of a sudden my throat starts to hurt. Well as the night progresses, so does the pain and the fever I soon developed after the throat pain. I end up falling asleep on my Precalc homework. I wake up the next day and being an 'Iolani student, there is much to do everyday, and missing one day could kill you. So I went to school, but as the day progressed, I felt like i could hardly stand. Good thing we got period 6 free that day, because after lunch I felt like jell-o. So I went home right after school that day and slept, accomplishing no homework. The next day I just slide by and feel like I'm getting better. Thursday is looking up. Maybe Friday is going to be good. Unfortunately, Friday was one of life's little surprises. Oh, and the surprise just got better on Saturday. Let's just put it this way, I went to sleep at 6:30pm on Friday and woke up at 12pm on Saturday afternoon. Also, my fever grew to a 100.3 and I have a low normal temperature. Anyways, I went to sleep and on Sunday, today, I feel a lot better. I finally feel I'm just a corner away from being completely better, hopefully. Anyways, I can hardly think right now and my sickness journey just makes me think of what a sickness graph would look like, since we're studying graphs and all.
So I made a "Energy-placement" graph:

and a "Energ-ocity" graph:

Now I challenge you to make an "Energeration"graph! Have fun and enjoy whats left of the three day weekend! -Steph out.

What a creative way of thinking! As for your challenge, the energeration graph would be a piece of cake... just the slopes of the segments in the energ-ocity graph. :-) At least you're well enough to enjoy your last day of the three-day weekend!
