Morse 9/16/2009 Homework 2

B. What will the class grade be if a 74 was made on the Final Exam?
Repeat for an 98 on the Final Exam.

0.3 ⋅ 65.7 + 0.45 ⋅ 71.0 + 0.25 ⋅ 74 = 70.2 5 pnts

0.3 ⋅ 65.7 + 0.45 ⋅ 71.0 + 0.25 ⋅ 98 = 76.2 5 pnts

C. How much will the class grade change if the two lowest homework
grades were dropped? Is the change in the class grade dependent on
the Final Exam?

Adjusted Homework Average 72.3

Test Average 71.0

0.3 ⋅ 72.3 + 0.45 ⋅ 71.0 + 0.25 ⋅ 74 = 72.1 5 pnts

or
0.3 ⋅ 72.3 + 0.45 ⋅ 71.0 + 0.25 ⋅ 98 = 78.1

Difference in final grade

72.1 − 70.2 = 1.9 5 pnts

or
78.1 − 76.2 = 1.9

D. How much will the class grade change if the lowest test grade was
replaced with final exam? Determine class grade using first a 76 for
the final exam grade then repeat for an 92 on the final exam.

Homework Average 65.7

Adjusted Test Average (76) 77.7
Adjusted Test Average (92) 83.0

0.3 ⋅ 65.7 + 0.45 ⋅ 77.7 + 0.25 ⋅ 76 = 73.7 5 pnts

0.3 ⋅ 65.7 + 0.45 ⋅ 83 + 0.25 ⋅ 92 = 80.1 5 pnts

E. What is the minimum final exam grade required to make an A.

(90 − (0.3 ⋅ 65.7 + 0.45 ⋅ 71)) / 0.25 = 153.4 5 pnts

2. The quadratic function S = S o + Vo ⋅ t + ⋅ a ⋅ t 2 defines the relationship for the
2
position of a car as a function of initial position, So; initial velocity, Vo;
acceleration, a; and time, t. Given a car moves alone a horizontal line starting at
an initial position of 600 ft, an initial velocity of 2 mph and an acceleration of 2
ft/s2.
Determine how long it takes for the car to move to a distance of 15 miles.
