Algebra Application: When Will Space Travel Be Affordable?

In this Algebra Application, students examine the budding industry of commercial space travel. Using data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, students build a mathematical model from historical airfare data. This model is used to predict when commercial space travel will become affordable. This also includes a discussion of inflation-adjusted costs and the future value of money.

Topics covered:

  • Mathematical modeling
  • Linear regression
  • Exponential functions
  • The time value of money
