Two Things I like about Math:
- I like how there is set rules/laws that you follow to come to a set answer. It is very straight forward.
- Math is like a puzzle and it can be like a game to figure it out.
- Using the database demonstrated in class, and the following simple statements search for (paranthesis required) answer the following questions. Let
- d = death penalty 4337
- c = capital punishment 6117
- n = New York State 76575
Search for:
- n /\ ( d \/ c ) 112 New York State and (death penalty or capital punishment)
- ( n /\ d ) \/ c 6137 (New York State and death penalty) or capital punishment
- n /\ d \/ c 112 New York State and death penalty or capital punishment
- ( n /\ d) \/ ( n /\ c) 112 (New York State and death penalty) or (New York State and capital punishment)
You must record the number of hits and exactly what you entered as your search criteria.
- In part 1, which searches yield the same results and why? searches a, c and d yielded the same results because it is the same search written different ways.
- For each of the searches above, determine which Venn diagram corresponds to to the search:
- Capital Punishment
- B and C
- A
- D
- A
- B and C
