What type of situations might be modeled with equations containing two or more variables?

Quite a lot. For example, the equation tracking the path of a ball thrown up in the air as it starts with some velocity and is accelerated downward by gravity.
Many fields have cyclical equations, such as the waveforms of alternating current electricity. Another example is predator-prey cycles in Biology. Predator grows in number, prey is killed off, predator dies from hunger, prey increases in number with less predators, predators grow in number from more food, and so on. Or the rise and fall of a Stock Market.

Purpose of differential equations?
Differential equations can be used for many purposes, but ultimately they are simply a way of describing rates of change of variables in an equation relative to each other.Many real world events can be modeled with differential equations.For example, imagine that you are observing a cart rolling down a hill, and can measure it's displacement over time as being d = t2 + 3t + 4. Given that, you can calculate it's velocity at any given moment by taking the derivative of the same equation, as velocity is the rate of change of displacement:d = t2 + 3t + 4v = dd/dt∴ v = 2t + 3Similarly, because acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, you can use the same technique to calculate the rate at which the cart is accelerating:v = 2t + 3a = dv/dt∴ a = 2This is just one simple example of how differential equations can be used, but the number of applications are endless.
What situations are modeled by exponential functions?
Some examples include: * Growth of populations, under certain circumstances * Radioactive decay * In quantum physics, the probability of finding a particle at a specific point * The temperature of an object, when it is allowed to cool down * The charge on a capacitor which is allowed to discharge
Who was the real Fat Albert modeled after?
Albert Robertson, Bill Cosby's childhood friend.
Would the cross section of a satellite dish be modeled by a linear or a quadratic equation?
The satellite dish is a parabolic reflector. A parabola cannot be modeled by a linear equation because a linear equation is one that graphs as a straight line. It takes a second degree expression to plot it, and that means a quadratic equation.
How is a many to many relationship modeled in an ER diagram?
When two entities can reference each other and each can contain multiple instances of the other, such a relationship is referred to as many-to-many. An example of such a relationship is a Book can contain several Authors while a given Author can write several Books. These type of relationships are modeled using an associative tables in databases.
What situations can best be modeled by literal equations?
literal equations? maybe you mean linear equations? Please edit and resubmit your question if that is what you meant.
How can ecological competition be modeled?
Competition also can be modeled by examining resources rather than population growth equations.
How can you modeled Mutualism?
Mutualism can be modeled using equations, and the outcome of mutualism depends upon whether the mutualism is facultative or obligate.
What situations could be modeled by a geometric sequence?
None of the following could.
Which of Earth's systems have been reliably modeled?
The answer, in truth, is that none of the earth systems have been reliably modeled. There are far to many variables to account for with the current technology. In fact, many of the variables are not even known or understood well enough to include in a model.
What is the relationship modeled by the equation y equals -8x plus 17?
It is a linear relationship between two variables.
How is Functional Notation used in the Medical Field specifically Nursing?
Another way to put it what variables will you encounter in nursing that can be modeled as a function.
Does every equation appear in y equals mx plus b form?
No, only equations that can be modeled as straight lines can appear in this form. For example, population growth would need at least an exponential graph i.e. y = ex and could not be even slightly modeled by the equation y = mx+b
Were the Naruto series' ANBU masks modeled after anything?
The anbu masks are to protect the wearers identity in case they get in tough situations. Their function is actually quite similar to an executioners mask.
What was we the people modeled after?
It was modeled after the Iroquois treaty.
What geometric figures are modeled by the stars?
Points are modeled by stars.
A real word sutuation that can be modeled?
Fraction is a word that can be modeled. This is used mostly in math.
