A Numerical Model is the most basic kind of model
in which numbers (or data) are analyzed to gain
insights into phenomena.

increasing?
Yes
An Algebraic Model uses formulas to relate variable
quantities associated with the phenomena being studied.
A pizzeria sells a rectangular 18” by 24” pizza for the
same price as its large round pizza (24” diameter). If both
pizzas have the same thickness, which option gives the
most pizza for the money?
Solution:
We need to compare the areas of the pizzas.
Rectangular pizza:
Round pizza:
A = lw
A = r2
= (18in)(24in)
= (12in)2
= 432 in2
= 144in2
= 452.4 in2
The round pizza is larger and therefore gives more for the money.
You are choosing between two long-distance telephone
plans. Plan A has a monthly fee of $20 with a charge of
$0.05 per minute for all long-distance calls. Plan B has
a monthly fee of $5 with a charge of $0.10 per minute
for all long-distance calls.
Express the monthly cost for plan A, f, as a function of the
number of minutes of long-distance calls in a month, x.
f(x) = 20 + 0.05x
Express the monthly cost for plan B, g, as a function of the
number of minutes of long-distance calls in a month, x.
g(x) = 5 + 0.10x
For how many minutes of long-distance calls will the
costs for the two plans be the same?
We are interested in how many minutes of long-distance
calls, x, result in the same monthly costs, f and g, for the
two plans. Thus, we must set the equations for f and g
equal to each other. We then solve the resulting linear
equation for x.
0.05x + 20 = 0.10x + 5
-0.05x - 5 - 0.05x - 5
15 = 0.05x
0.05 0.05
300 minutes = x
A Graphical Model is a visual representation of a
numerical model or an algebraic model that gives insight
into the relationships between variable quantities.
From the data table of prison populations, let t be the number of
years after 1980 and let F be the percentage of females in the
prison population from year 0 to year 20. Create a scatter plot
of the data.

This pattern looks linear. Use a line of best fit to to find an
algebraic model by finding the equation of the line.
Use the point-slope formula and calculate the slope
from the two coordinates (0,3.8) and (20,6.7)
