Linear functions model situations that are continually increasing or continually decreasing. Quadratic functions model situations that increase and then decrease, or vice versa.

Polynomial functions can model situations that change directions multiple times. What is a situation in which a polynomial model might make sense, and why?

Respuesta :

A situation that can be modeled by a polynomial function is: Velocity of a Formula 1 car during a lap.

When should polynomial functions should be used?

Polynomial functions should be used to model situations that change directions multiple times, between increase and decrease.

One possible example is the velocity of the Formula 1 car during a lap, as follows:

  • Initially, the velocity increases during the start-finish straight.
  • On the approximation to first turn, the velocity decreases as the car breaks.
  • Coming out of the turn, the velocity increases again.
  • At the next breaking point, the velocity decreases.

This behavior keeps happening until the end of the lap.
