22.5.4 The Realistic Range of Values

Core idea

Headcount and length can't be negative, so you draw only the branch that makes sense and keep the domain grounded in reality.

Module goal. Use the inverse-proportion model to describe real quantities whose product stays fixed, building the model, solving it, and respecting the limits on the domain.
