Identify a problem from real life experience that can be modeled algebrically (i.e. with equation(s). Does not need to be super complicated.
Create the model for solving the general problem using one or more equations. Use the model to solve a specific problem. Write a report that discusses the problem modeled. Be sure to identify the variables; mention any assumptions made; show the equations that model the solution; work out a solution to a particular problem using the model. Discuss why and how it all works. Discuss the model in terms of algebra: are you using functions; is the model linear or non-linear; etc.? You may include a graph.
