- Grade Point Average In many universities students are given grade points for each credit unit according to the following scale: A4 points B3 points C2 points D1 points F0 points For example, a grade of A in a 3-unit earns 43=12 grade points and grade points and a grade of B in a 5-unit course earns 35=15 grade points. A student’s grade point average (GPA) for these two courses is the total number of grade points earned divided by the number of units; in this case the GPA is (12+15)/8=3.375 . (a) Find a formula for a GPA of a student who earns a grade A in a units of course work, B in b units; C in c units, D in d units, and F in f units. (b) Find a GPA of a student who has earned a grade of A in two-units courses. B in one 4-unit course, and C in three 3-unit courses.arrow_forwardRunning In 1987, Canadian Ben Johnson set a world record in the 100-m sprint.The record was later taken away when he was found to have used an anabolic steroid to enhance his performance. His speed at various times in the race is given in the following table . Source: Information Graphics. Timesec Speedmph 0 0 1.84 12.9 3.80 23.8 6.38 26.3 7.23 26.3 8.96 26.0 9.83 25.7 a. Use the information in the table and left endpoints to estimate the distance that Johnson ran in miles. You will first need to calculate t for each interval. At the end, you will need to divide by 3600 the number of seconds in an hour, since the speed is in miles per hour. b. Repeat part a, using right endpoints. c. Wait a minute, we know that the distance Johnson ran is 100m. Divide this by 1609, the number of meters in a mile, to find how far Johnson ran in miles. Is your answer from part a or part b closer to the true answer? Briefly explain why you think this answer should be more accurate. d.arrow_forwardVital Statistics Let bt be the number of births in the United States in year t, and let dt represent the number of deaths in the United States in year t, where t=10 corresponds to 2010.
