1. Describe a real-life example which could be modeled with a difference equation. (5 points)

2. Describe the value being tracked including its units. (2 points)

3. State the initial (starting) value including its units. (2 points)

4. Describe what happens mathematically from one value to the next. (4 points)

5. Write out the difference equation with correct notation. (5 points)

*Spelling, grammar and general appearance (2 points)

1. Real life example -- a man going from his home to his work place on his car at a uniform speed of 40 mph

2. Distance(x in miles) travelled at any time (t in hrs)

3. x(0) = 0

4 At time t = 0 distance travelled is zero and after 1 hr distance travelled is 40 miles.

5. v=dx/dt = 40
