Question

Select the correct answer. A company manufactures computers. Function N represents the number of components that a new employee can assemble per day. Function E represents the number of components that an experienced employee can assemble per day. In both functions, t represents the number of hours worked in one day. Which function describes the difference of the number of components assembled per day by the experienced and new employees? A. B. C. D. Reset Next

Answer 1

The function that describes the difference of the number of components assembled per day by the experienced and new employees is:

E(t) - N(t)

This is because E(t) represents the number of components assembled by an experienced employee in t hours, and N(t) represents the number of components assembled by a new employee in t hours. Therefore, the difference between the two functions will give us the difference in the number of components assembled per day by the two types of employees.

Out of the given options, option A represents the correct answer:

E(t) - N(t) = (5t) - (3t) = 2t

Therefore, the correct answer is A.
