Week 2 Discussion
Create your own linear scenario and problem. Have at least two parts to your problem for your classmates to solve. Make sure you know the answer to your own problem!
Here is an example of a linear scenario and problem: A new car costs $21,000, and the car’s value depreciates linearly to $10,500 in three years. Explain the process to write a formula that expresses the car’s value, V, in terms of its age, t, in years. What is the car’s value in 5 years? At what point is the formula useless? Explain. (Do NOT use this example as your linear scenario and problem.)
