Economics
Production Possibilities Curve
"Describe a time focusing on just one task, and letting someone else handle another, made things work better overall."
One example of when I was able to focus on one task and let someone else handle another was when I was preparing to lead a BETA metting with other officers and we needed a system to make our proccess more quick. At first, I tried to create canva posters, and make meeting agendas using Word . I was not as profficient using Word so i decided to "specialize" In canva posters, since I could focus on one task that I could do well, and let another group member take over my task. This concept connects to division of labor which can spur economic growth because it can maximize efficiency and cause an increased rate of productivity which is shown by my chosen artifact; The Productions Possibilities Curve. It can visually demonstrate how specialization drives economic growth by shifting the entire production boundary outward. The green line shows production possibilities BEFORE the economic shift, and the outer bound shows increased possibilities AFTER the economic shift. In my scenario, when I tried to do both tasks at the same time, it was very inefficiant which is plotted under the green curve, and when I decided to let someone else handle a task It showed efficient growth.
"Describe a time a price change — a sale, a price hike, surge pricing — changed what you or someone else decided to buy or sell."
I had my eye on the brand-new M5-series MacBook Air, but I was hesitating to spend my savings on a new computer. One afternoon, I saw that Apple had launched its annual Back to School sale, dropping the macbook neo student price by $100 and throwing in a free $150 Apple gift card. Realizing that this sudden price drop and bonus credit would completely cover the cost of the AppleCare+ protection and a new mouse, I instantly changed my mind about holding onto my old, slow laptop. I jumped online, verified my student status, and bought the MacBook Neo right then and there because the temporary sale made the upgrade too good to pass up. Price can influence consumer decisions by completely shifting their perception of value. When a price drops, it creates urgency and a sense of "saving money," which can turn a hesitant shopper into an immediate buyer.

One thing I know about rational functions are is that they are the ratios where the numerators and denominators are polynomials
One thing I want to know more about is how mathmeticians were able to determine how microscopic holes in rational functions existed
I wonder how a graph decides to create a vertical or holes when the denominator is equal to zero
