List of objectives for Module 12M - Solving Real-World Problems

We’ve now looked at how to construct models using linear functions, direct/indirect variations, and logarithmic/exponential functions. This module will focus on putting it all together. As you can expect, there will not be a lot of new material here. If you are struggling with a particular type of model, you will want to refer back to that previous Module. The textbook does not have any sections on solving any word-problem using modeling.

The objectives for this Module are:

(a): Identify which type of model would be appropriate for a real-world situation.
(b): Construct a model equation for the real-world situation.
(c): Solve the real-world problem.
