Michael gets test grades of 73, 77, 82, and 86. he gets a 93 on his final exam. find the weighted mean if the tests each count for 15% and the final exam counts for 40% of the final grade. round to one decimal place.

84.9

Step-by-step explanation:

The weighted mean is given by the sum of the products of each grade by its respective weight. If the first four grades correspond to 15% of the final grade each, and the final exam is equivalent to 40% of the final grade, Michael's final grade is:

Michael's final weighted mean is 84.9.

walter needs to make at least 5 more cookies but no more than 40. 5 ≤ x ≤ 40

step-by-step explanation:

20 ≤ x + 15 ≤ 55

subtract 15 from all parts

20-15 ≤ x + 15-15 ≤ 55-15

5 ≤ x ≤ 40

this means how many more cookies he has to make

walter needs to make at least 5 more cookies, but no more than 40 cookies; 5 ≤ x ≤ 40

, and

for

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote , , , so that we can call

note the following:

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from , to get to , we add

from , to get to , we add

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be
