Numerical Quantities: Constants, Parameters, and Variables

This has been written for the 'math savvy' audience. It has not been written well enough to present to typical Algebra 2 or PreCalculus students. But, when developed further, what concerns would there be in introducing this idea of parameters to Algebra 2/PreCalculus students?

I do want to start having AP Calculus BC and AP Physics C students consider this, so any feedback, about either the idea or the description, would be appreciated.

Thank you.

A Problem Solving Process Example

I often suggest a different problem solving approach than what is typically taught in the US math education system. Specifically, "setting aside the 'arbitrary' numerical values" and "deconstructing the problem into sub-components.

I know this seems excessive, and as a person is comfortable with this, they can cut corners to eliminate the aspects which are familiar.

Examples of this approach are useful, and I'll post these as solutions to problems which have been posted.
