I am both a Mechanical and an Electrical engineer ( aka use math in real life every day) and I work every day with systems described by exponential or logarithmic functions.

Just to name a few:

  • Charging or discharging of a capacitor
  • Any LRC circuit (or any combination thereof)
  • Any SMD system (or any combination thereof)
  • radioactive decay
  • algorithmic efficiency

In other words, if you want to describe a real life you will probably encounter some exponential function. This comes from the fact that the solution to differential equations ( which govern most of the universe) generally contain an exponential term.

Uses of trigonometric functions in real life situations?

Can you use trigonomic functions in real life situations? It's not like you carry a calculator with you everywhere... Very unlikely unless you have a job that requires trig skills.

How does polynomial function exist in real life?

As with most advanced math, if your "real life" involves engineering work, you will use such math; otherwise, you will hardly have anything to do, in this case, with polynomial functions.


When would you use a radical function in real life?

If you work in science or engineering, you will need radical functions (and other advanced math topics) all the time. Otherwise, you won't have much need for radical functions.

How can i use function in the real world?

Functions can be applied in the real world in various ways, such as modeling relationships between variables. For instance, businesses use functions to analyze sales data, predict trends, and optimize pricing strategies. In everyday life, you might use functions to calculate expenses based on set budgets or to determine travel time based on distance and speed. Ultimately, functions help simplify complex problems and make informed decisions based on data.
