RESPOND TO THESE PEOPLE/1. Kenneth Thez – Tuesday, November 22, 2022, 7:47 AM
Hello Class and Professor,
I can think of many practical applications of this weeks topics in the real world.
Radical Functions are used in the financial industry to calculate depreciation on assets, inflation, and interest. An understanding of the use of these radical functions in everyday life is imperative to financial literacy.
Thank you,
Ken

Class,
Radical expressions are used daily by many different real life situations. One application I can think of is in carpentry and masonry. When designing and constructing buildings, often times angled measurements are used and radical expressions can be used to figure them out.
I think regardless of your profession it is important to understand radical expressions. It can simplify some calculations in the real world even if you are not in a field that requires it.
