variables and constraints

This lesson unit is intended to help you assess how well students are able to:

• Interpret a situation and represent the constraints and variables mathematically.
• Select appropriate mathematical methods to use.
• Explore the effects of systematically varying the
...

Students will analyze the rising cost of tuition to make a recommendation of which university/college is a better financial decision.

In this project, students will use calculus to optimize a product or design. They will have to carefully characterize the variables and constraints of their system to form an equation to be optimized, and then take the derivative to find the maximum or minimum of that function. They must include...
