A network of deep-space observatories began sending conflicting predictions about an approaching comet. In the mission control center, Emek and Tara examined several function graphs displayed across a digital control wall, each representing a different mathematical model. They compared key features such as intercepts, turning points, intervals of increase and decrease, and end behavior with the latest observational data. One graph consistently matched the comet's measured positions, while the others showed incompatible behavior. After selecting the correct model, they synchronized the observatories, enabling the entire network to coordinate accurate observations as the comet passed through the star system.
