This week you will learn about mathematical induction, polynomials, and the parts that make up polynomials. Polynomials are useful, because they can be written to represent real-world situations and solve actual problems.

Respond to the following prompts in a minimum of 175 words:

• What is a situation in your life or future career that would require the use of polynomials?
• How can you—or did you—apply polynomials to solve your problem?
• Provide an example in your response.
