Significance and Application.

           
Stock market predictions
            There are many everyday uses for polynomial equations, but one field in particular uses polynomials on a daily basis, and probably hundreds of times a week; This field is finance. Polynomial equations are used to calculate the present day value of assets, to ascertain stock values, compute mortgages, and assist in bond trading. (Dohrman, 2017)

         Along with finances, polynomials are useful in pretty much every STEM field and work space, Astrophysicists use polynomials to calculate a star's velocity and distance from other things in space. Chemists use polynomials to calculate pressures of fluid dynamics, and determine compositions of molecules and compounds. In statistics, polynomials can be used to calculate the predicted birth and death rate of farm animals, and things such as population growth and monetary flow. Aside from all these contributions, polynomials allow technology to direct and land spacecraft. This would be a seemingly impossible task without the use of the mathematical knowledge given with polynomials. (Turner, 2017)
