Question

A basketball player has made 21 of her last 30 free throws a percentage of 70, how can you model the player's free throw percentage as a rational function

Answer 1

For this case what you should do is write the following function:

 y = (a / b) * 100

 Where,

 A: amount of successful free throws

 B: total amount of free throws

 Substituting values we have:

 y  = (21/30) * 100

 The result is:

 Y = 70% (as we expected)

 Answer:

 a rational function that can model the player's free throw percentage is:

 y = (21/30) * 100
