The same solution techniques used to solve equations can be used to rearrange formulas. Graphing two formula functions can allow for finding approximate solutions to the equation.

=Introduction= Have you heard!? There's going to be a new tour opening up around the islands surrounding Maine. Do you need a summer job because they are looking for help! The Maine Charter Company has notices that their tours are all really boring and bland. They go around the same set of islands and take the same scenic route. Customers are starting to catch on and their business is going down the drain. They need people on the board of directors that have a creative eye and can help them get their customers back. Do you think you have what it takes to help them?

=Task= The Maine Charter Company is starting a new tour that takes tourists around Maine Islands. There are many possible routes and the charters chief navigator just retired and his position is now open for hiring. The company is now looking for young experienced sailors to come up with the navigational routes around some of Maine's Islands. They want you to come up with three new routes that are safe and also a nice scenic route around the islands of your choice. You have already passed the interview stage of this hiring process but now you must present your routes to the board of directors in an oral presentation. They want you to use Google Earth and you must come up with linear equations that represent each route. This will help ease of use for the charter company. The route must also be attractive using many Google Earth tools specified in the rubric given to you prior to the presentation. If the board of directors likes your route then they will present them to the Maine Charter Company and you will be their new chief of navigation!

=Conclusion= Dear Chief of Navigation, Congratulations! You got the job of helping the Maine Charter Company. They loved your tours and are going to use them when they open up a new charter around your islands. Your route was so creative that customers are already excited to go on the tour. You've made it so easy for the charter company to sail around your islands that they are going to use your equations to see if they can incorporate more islands in to their tour route. You should be very proud with how you did because your name is going to be floating around other charter companies. The skills you used will take you to bigger and better things and will help you out as you grow through life. You can use the same techniques you used to make the tour when figuring out your next road trip or backpacking trip. It can be used anywhere and everywhere! So, take the information that you've learned and go enjoy the world around you.
