a) Who is a real estate developer? What are the responsibilities of a real-estate
developer? Elaborate in complete sentences using mathematical terms.
A real estate developer is an individual or company, that with the help of their math
knowledge, subdivides lands to sell and develops houses, buildings, and properties that
accompanies the investors needs while keeping in mind the value of a project in terms of
design, cost, utility, location, and more. They are also responsible to keep track of the
market and the best interest of there costumers while maintaining good relations with
governments and other professions. This is usually accomplished with a great reliance on
math formulas such as: {Gross Rent Multiplier (GRM) Formula, the Commission Formula,
Simple Interest Formula, Loan to Value Ratio (LTV), and more and a great reliance on
polynomial functions}.
b) As a real-estate developer, what questions do you ask your clients to make sure their
needs are met? Write at least 4 questions in bullet form.
1. How much are you willing to spend on this project? (budget)
2. What is the goal of the project? What utility will it be? (Mall, library, building,
villa, office, etc.…)
3. What are the expectations and ideas you have in mind? (Size, shape, etc.…)
4. Where will this project take place? (location)

Use Desmos calculator to sketch and write a polynomial function for each region/quarter
that best fit the data. Your functions depend on the degree of the polynomial that you
choose.
You may choose a cubic polynomial, a polynomial of degree 4 or a polynomial of degree 5.
Use t=0 for the year 2010.

c) Are there any turning points in any of the graphs? Justify your reasoning in complete
sentences using mathematical terms.
Yes, there is turning points in all of the graphs since the graph shifts between increasing
and decreasing (only considering quadrant 1 since it is a real life scenario where x and y
can’t be negative).

d) Estimate the x- and y-intercept (s) of the graph of region 1. What do they mean in
this context? Do those values make sense? Elaborate your answer in complete
sentences.
Region 1 (northeast): -
x-intercept 3 2
y=−685.47 x +8562.12 x +6505.87 x +394819 The x-intercept means
0=−685.47 x 3+ 8562.12 x 2 +6505.87 x+394819 that when y (the price) is 0
use mode5−4 the x (the year) is 2025
x 1=15.50047143 ≅ 15.5
x 2=−1.5047+5.9 i These values don’t make
x 3=−1.5047−5.9i sense since the houses
Therefore the x-intercept is 15.5 (2025 and half can’t be sold for free
a year) since the other 2 x’s have a imaginary
digit therefore it is rejected

y-intercept 3 2
y=−685.47 x +8562.12 x +6505.87 x +394819 The y-intercept means
y=−685.47 ( 0 )3 +8562.12 ( 0 )2+ 6505.87(0)+394819 that when the x (years)
y=394819 is 0 or 2010 the y (price)
The y-intercept is 394819 is 394819

No, it also doesn’t make

sense since the value
that we get isn’t
matching to the value at
the beginning.
406400 ≠ 394819
This is because the graph

5
 Math, G11 Capstone Project S1 21-22
isn’t accurate it’s only an
estimate of the ratio.

e) Compare and contrast the end behavior of the 3 functions. What can you conclude?
Write your answer in complete sentences.
In this case because it is a real-life scenario the x can't go to negative infinity since
the years can't be negative.
I can also conclude that each region has a different outcome.
Graph 1: (northeast) as x →+∞ , f ( x ) →−∞ I can conclude that as the
as x →−∞ , f ( x ) →+ ∞ years pass the price of the
real estate decrease
Graph 2: (Midwest) as x →+∞ , f ( x ) →+∞ I can conclude that as the
as x →−∞, f ( x ) →−∞ years pass the price of the
real estate increase
Graph 3: (west) as x →+∞ , f ( x ) →−∞ I can conclude that as the
as x →−∞ , f ( x ) →+ ∞ years pass the price of the
real estate decrease

f) Do you expect the home values in each region to be increasing or decreasing in the
near future? Elaborate in complete sentences using mathematical terms.
Region 1 – Northeast Decrease As seen in the graph and the end behavior that as
the years progressed (x values) the price (y values)
decrease.
Region 2 -Midwest Increase As seen in the graph and the end behavior that as
the years progressed (x values) the price (y values)
increase.
Region 3 -West Decrease As seen in the graph and the end behavior that as
the years progressed (x values) the price (y values)
decrease.

To find the future of real estate values replace x by simply subtracting the year by
2010 and using a calculator calculate the outcome.
b) When do you believe the models are most accurate? Use mathematical evidence to
support your reasoning in complete sentences.

I believe the models are most accurate in 2024 because it has the smallest value of x
which allows it to be more accurate and because the increase is very drastic that
means it’s not logical. Also, its just an estimate not a hundred percent correct. (
568380.584<783769.416< 1099702.632<1536059<6219945 ) as seen here 568380.84 is the
smallest y of the x 14 from the year 2024. The real state cant rise to 6219945 its
simply impossible.
c) Which region is projected to have the highest home value in 2030?

Region 2(1536059>−684207>−1533975.6 ¿as seen here the region 2 is the highest home
value and the negative outcomes are simply impossible since the price can’t be
negative.

d) Which region appears to be growing at the fastest rate? Use mathematical evidence to
support your reasoning.

Region 2 since the 2 other regions are decreasing not increasing.it increases from
568380.84 in 2024 to 6219945 in 2040.

three of your price points to any of the regions in USA before 2030? Use
mathematical evidence to support your reasoning.

Yes, my company will be able to reach all three of the price points at region 2 only it
will reach the price goal 800000 at august 2015 and 1000000 at September 2016
and 1250000 at October 2017 but in region 1 and 3 the company won’t be able to
reach the price points at any year. I found this data by replacing y by the price point
at all the regions and then adding the possible x values to 2010 as seen previously.

Part 5: Reflection
a) Other than region locations, what factors should you take into consideration when
you plan to buy a new home? Write your answer in bullet form.

 weather of the location

 Interest Rates / taxes
 Community and neighbors
 Schools/malls/restaurant/ supermarkets and all public services near by
 Maintenance and other services that will be offered
 Compare between different houses and prices
 Sizes of the property
 Facilities offered

 Budget
 Government regulations
 We should always have a real estate developer as well as a architecture to
create a unique design for my our needs

b) When you plan to buy a new home, how do you decide which home value is the best?
Elaborate your answer in complete sentences using the math skills you have applied
in your project.
I decide which home value is the best according to surface area of the house compared
to the price, I compare the location for example a flat in a building next to Burj Khalifa
wouldn’t cost the same as a flat in Sharjah and a villa with a beach view won’t cost the
same as a normal one. Not just that I would also investigate the weather of that area,
the location, the design modern or classic and the facilities. I would also use data to see
what location would have a increase in prices after a certain time just in case I was
interested in selling my house after sometime I will do this by creating a polynomial
function using data collected on the location and checking the weather the properties
cost will be increasing or decreasing in the future.
Example :

a flat in burj khalifa

price:38,000 per sq ft.
view: the hieghest view
probability of this property
to increase price : very high
propability
a probability of 36% increase
a flat in sharjah
price:436.5 per sq ft.
view: beach view
probability of this property
to increase price: a
probability of a decrease
higher than increase by 15%

c) List a minimum of four real-life applications of polynomial functions then explain one
of them. Provide an example with solution of the application you have chosen. Write
your answer in full sentences.

Question:
A new bakery offers decorated sheet cakes
for children’s birthday parties and other
special occasions. The bakery wants the
volume of a small cake to be 351 cubic
inches. The cake is in the shape of a
rectangular solid. They want the length of
the cake to be four inches longer than the
width of the cake and the height of the cake
to be one-third of the width. What should the
dimensions of the cake pan be?

The volume of a rectangular solid is given by V =l × w ×h

V=lwh.

the length must be four inches longer than the l=w+4 .

width

the height of the cake is one-third of the width 1

h= w
3

the volume of the cake in terms of width of the 1

cake.
V =(w +4)(w)( w)
3

Simplify the equation 1 3 4 2

V= w + w
3 3

Substitute 351 for V 1 3 4 2

351= w + w
3 3

Multiply both sides by 3 3 2

1053=w + 4 w

Math, G11 Capstone Project S1 21-22
Subtract 1053 from both sides 3 2
0=w + 4 w −1 053

Use mode 5 4 to find x w 1=9

w 2=−6.5+8.64580 i
w 3=−6.5−8.64580 i

Since the other w values are imaginary x1 is only (w=9)

accepted

Now replace Width= 9

Length=9+4=13
Height=3
The sheet cake pan should have dimensions
13 inches by 9 inches by 3 inches.

Find the volume 9 ×13 × 3=351

351inches.
