Exam 2 Grade Check - University of New Mexico
Math 120/121, Test 2 Grade Check
Definition of variables:
Let [pic]The grade you received on test 1
Let [pic]The grade you received on test 2
Let [pic]The grade you will receive on test 3
Let [pic] The grade you will receive on test 4
Let [pic]Your average homework and quiz grade
Let [pic]The grade you will receive on the final
To get an A in this class your average for the semester must be greater than or equal to 89.5. In Math 120/121 each of the first four tests count as 100 points each, HW/quiz grade counts as 100 points and the Final counts as 200 points. The inequality that states this is:
[pic]
At this point in the semester you know what grade you have on [pic], [pic] and [pic]. You do
not know what grade you will get on [pic], [pic] and on the [pic]. I will define a new variable, x.
Definition of Variables:
Let [pic] the average grade you will get on [pic], [pic] and on the[pic].
[pic] can now be substituted for [pic], [pic] and for[pic]: [pic]
With like terms collected the inequality becomes:
[pic]
If you substitute your own [pic], [pic]and [pic] into this equation it becomes a linear inequality in one unknown. You can then solve it for [pic]. This will let you know what average grade you must get on the next two exams and on the final in order to get an A in the class. You can also determine what average grade you must get on the next exam and the final to get at least a B in the class by substituting 79.5 for 89.5 in the above equation. Similarly, if you substitute 69.5 for 89.5 in the above equation you can solve for the grade that you need to get at least a C in the class. (In any case, you must pass the Final to pass the class, even if the solution to the above inequality suggests that you need less than a 70 average on the third test, fourth test and on the Final in order to pass.)
For homework:
1) Write your name on your paper.
2) List and label what you received on the first test, second test, and your homework/quiz grade.
3) Perform a calculation to determine what grade you must get on the next exam and on the final in order to get an A in the class, at least a B in the class and at least a C in the class. (You will have done three separate calculations)
4) Write a few sentences analyzing what this means.
5) IF your test average ( T1 and T2) is below 70, you must also write a few sentences describing what concrete changes you can make to improve your grades.
