Functions in Everyday Life

Spotting Functions All Around You

Functions aren't just for math class—they're everywhere in daily life!

  • Cooking: The time it takes to cook different foods can be modeled by a function.
  • Travel: The distance you travel is a function of your speed and time.
  • Health: Calories burned can be modeled by your activity level and time.

Understanding functions helps you make predictions, plan better, and solve problems quickly.

Examples

  • Using a recipe to figure out cooking time for a larger meal.

  • Estimating arrival time on a road trip based on speed and distance.
