Polynomial Word Problems Goal: Use polynomials to represent real-life situations.
Word Problems • Decide if the problem involves addition, subtraction or multiplication. • If polynomials are given: add, subtract or multiply like normal. • If polynomials are not given: use a formula. • Area = length times width • Perimeter = add all sides
Word Problem #1 From 1991 through 1998, the number of commercial C and education E Internet websites can be modeled by the following equations, where t is the number of years since 1991. C = 0.321t2 – 1.036t + 0.698 E = 0.099t2 – 0.120t + 0.295 Find a model for the total number of commercial and education sites. • T = 0.42t2 – 1.156t + 0.993
Word Problem #2 From 1890 through 1990, the number of men M and women W in the US labor force can be modeled by the following equations, where t is the number of years since 1890.
