Rational Functions
Description
In this program submarines, evolution, and telescopes are all part of a discussion of rational functions. In the first segment, functions are used to calculate how much water pressure a submarine can withstand before it implodes. Studying the ratio of surface area to volume of both a snake and a polar bear in the second segment yields clues about how animals have adapted to their environment. Finally, the inner workings of the Hubble space telescope are explained in terms of rational functions.
