Since polynomials are used to describe curves of various types, people use them in the real world to graph curves. For example, roller coaster designers may use polynomials to describe the curves in their rides. Combinations of polynomial functions are sometimes used in economics to do cost analyses.

LxW = 4x4.5=18ft^2 cut in half thats 9ft^2
X = time, minutes
y = length, inches
When x = 32 min, y = 11.2 in
When x = 32+18 = 50, y = 10.75 in
Assume that a linear relatioship exists between x and y.
In table form, the given data is
x, min: 32 50
y, in: 11.2 10.75
The slope is
m = (10.75 - 11.2)/(50 - 32) = -0.025
In point-slope form, the required equation is
When x = 3 hours = 180 minutes, obtain
y - 10.75 = -0.025*(180 - 50) = -3.25
y = -3.25 + 10.75 = 7.5 in
Answer: 7.5 inches
