Polynomials in Action

Polynomials can model many real-world situations, from predicting profits in business to modeling the path of a rocket.

Common Uses

• Business: Estimate profits or losses over time.
• Physics: Describe movement, like the height of a ball after it's thrown.

How to Model

1. Identify variables and constants.
2. Build a polynomial equation based on the scenario.
3. Use the model to answer questions and make predictions.

Why Is This Useful?

Modeling helps us make better decisions, from planning a budget to designing sports equipment.
