Q:

A basketball player has made 21 of her last 30 free throws a percentage of 70, how can you model the player's free throw percentage as a rational function

Accepted Solution

A:
For this case what you should do is write the following function: y = (a / b) * 100 Where, A: amount of successful free throws B: total amount of free throws Substituting values we have: y  = (21/30) * 100 The result is: Y = 70% (as we expected) Answer: a rational function that can model the player's free throw percentage is: y = (21/30) * 100
