Here are some examples that commonly appear in engineering.
Cubic function: The volume of similar objects (for example two cubes, two spheres, two cylinders with the same length-to-diameter ratio, etc.) is proportional to the cube of their diameter. For example, if you increase the diameter of a sphere by a factor "x", then its volume will increase by a factor "x cubed".
Reciprocal: There are many situations where one variable is inversely proportional to another - if one increases, the other decreases - the second variable is equal to some constant, times the reciprocal function. For example, this is the case with the relationship between pressure and volume in the ideal gas law - as well as the relationship between some other variables in the ideal gas law.

What are real life examples absolute value function?
A real life example for the absolute value function is a football field. Even though the center of the field is labeled zero, you wouldn't say you ran negative feet if you went backwards..
What is a real life application of the power function?
not alot, they arent very useful, give up now
Where can you find importance of symmetry in daily life?
we can find symmetary in our daily life in designs of a fashion designer or a normal tailor when he stitches our dresses
