Choose one of these sectors and give an example of a polynomial or rational function modeling a situation in that sector.

Answer 1

Fractional functions with a polynomial in the numerator and the denominator are known as rational functions. The graphs of these functions grow closer and closer to certain values without ever reaching those values.
In the real world, rational equations are often used to model electrical circuit and distance problems.
