Question

The manager of a factory observed that the maximum number of units a typical worker can produce in a day is 45. The learning curve for the number of units, N, that can be produced per day after a new employee has worked t number of days is N = 45(1 − e–0.03t). How many units can a worker produce on day 30?

Answer 1

N=45\left( 1-e^{-0.03(30)} \right)

Use a calculator to evaluate and "round". Answer: 26 (not quite enough for 27 whole units).

Explanation:

Answer 2

Substitute t = 30.


`N=45\left( 1-e^(-0.03(30)) \right)`

Use a calculator to evaluate and "round". Answer: 26 (not quite enough for 27 whole units).
