linear equations.
i) A model is a representation of either reality or vision. Just as “a picture is worth a thousand words”, most models use picture to represent the reality or vision. However, in an instance an engineer chooses a model with equations and an algebraic figure to represent an idea, the model becomes which kind of model?
ii) Mention four methods used to determine preferred plans to use for complex and large scale systems.
