    Radical expressions are used in many real-world applications including: 1) Financial planning to calculate annual inflation rates of home prices over time. 2) Medicine to approximate adult body surface area based on height and weight. 3) Geology and oceanography to determine tsunami speed based on ocean depth and gravity. 4) Electrical engineering to calculate voltage based on power and resistance. 5) Physics and engineering to find total force on an object using components in different directions.

    Additional Real World Applications

    for Radical Expressions

    Financial Planning
    A financial planner has been asked to
    determine the inflation rate for
    homes.
    To calculate the inflation of homes
    that increases from p1 to p2 over n
    years, the annual rate of inflation
    (expressed as 1
    a decimal) can be
    n

    p

    modeled
    as:
    i
    1

    p1

    Medicine
    Doctors can approximate the Body
    Surface Area of an adult (in square
    meters) using an index called BSA
    where H is height in centimeters and
    W is weight in kilograms:

    BSA

    H W
    3600

    Geology/Meterology/Oceanography
    The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center is
    responsible for monitoring earthquakes
    that could potentially cause tsunamis in
    the Pacific Ocean. Through measuring the
    water level and calculating the speed of a
    tsunami, scientists can predict arrival
    times of tsunamis.
    The speed (in meters per second) at
    which a tsunami moves is determined by
    the depth d (in meters) of
    ocean:
    g isthe
    acceleration
    due to

    g d

    gravity, which is 9.8 meters


    per square second

    Electrical Engineering
    To measure voltage (V, measured in
    volts), electrical engineers use the
    following formula:

    V PR

    Where P is
    power
    (measured in
    watts)
    and R is
    resistance

    Physics/Engineering
    Physicists and engineers may study
    how force affects objects. A force is
    a vector (magnitude and direction)
    and vectors have components based
    on direction (x, y, z). To find the total
    force (resultant force), the following
    F
    formula can be used:
    y Fx

    Supply Chain Management/Business


    You are a purchasing manager for a
    medical device company. You are
    responsible for directing the way the
    company buys, stores, and sells supplies to
    other companies.
    You want to reduce the companys
    warehousing costs by ordering the supplies
    needed to produce the medical devices
    just in time to use them.

    Supply Chain Management/Business


    In order to determine the most economic order
    quantity E for parts used in production of the
    medical devices, you need to use the following
    formula:
    2* A* S
    E
    I
    A is the quantity the plant will use in one year
    S is the cost of setup for making the device
    I is the cost of holding one unit in stock for one year

    Find E if S = $6,000, A = 25, and I = $140.


    Answer: 46 (You cant order a fractional quantity, so
    round down to 46.)
