Get ready for the launch of America's Top Equation!
Imagine that a TV network held a talent contest for... equations. Which type of
equation would you want to win? Pick the kind of function that you'd like to sponsor for
the contest, and describe its traits in a way that shows why it should be America's top
equation.
Recall some of the types of equations: linear, exponential, and quadratic (you've seen
these equations applied to increasingly advanced scenarios), plus polynomial, radical,
and rational. You've seen these equations in systems and by themselves, and
sometimes as the basis of an inequality or a system of inequalities.
In your description, include key features (as represented in a graph, equation, or table)
and prove your equation type's worth for solving real-world problems. America's top
equation must prove useful and applicable to everyday situations!
