In a learning theory project, psychologists discovered that f(t) = 0.8 / 1 + e-0.2t is a model for describing the proportion of correct responses, f(t), after t learning trials. Solve, a. Find the proportion of correct responses prior to learning trials taking place. b. Find the proportion of correct responses after 10 learning trials. c. What is the limiting size of f(t), the proportion of correct responses, as continued learning trials take place?

The population P (in millions) of Texas from 2001 through 2014 can be approximated by the model P=20.913e0.0184t, where t represents the year, with t=1 corresponding to 2001. According to this model, when will the population reach 32 million?

Suppose the amount of a certain drug in the bloodstream is modeled by C(t)=8te-0.2t ,then the maximum concentration this drug reaches is closest to:
A car-detailing service estimates that its daily cost of waxing q cars is C(q) = 0.04q2 + 37q + 350. If the service collects $60 for each car waxing, find the number of cars the service should wax daily in order to maximize profit.
A company produces chocolate Easter bunnies at a cost per unit of 0.60 + 0.005x dollars, where x is the number produced. If the price on the competitive market for a bunny this size is $5.00, how many should the company produce to maximize its profit?
A manufacture has been selling 1900 television sets a week at $510 each. A market survey indicates that for each $29 rebate offered to a buyer, the number of sets sold will increase by 290 per week.a) Find the demand function p(x)p(x), where xx is the number of the television sets sold per week.p(x)=p(x)= b) How large rebate should the company offer to a buyer, in order to maximize its revenue?$ c) If the weekly cost function is 161500+170x161500+170x, how should it set the size of the rebate to maximize its profit?$
Find the number of units x that produces a maximum revenue R in the given equation.
A small manufacturer has determined that the daily cost in dollars of producing n injected molded parts is given by the formula: C(n) = 0.01n3 - 1.5n2 + 0.25n + 500 Each part can be sold for $1.50 each. How many units must be produced and sold to maximize profit?
The alternative minimum tax was created in 1969 to prevent the very wealthy from using creative deductions and shelters to avoid having to pay anything to the Internal Revenue Service. But it has increasingly hit the middle class. The number of taxpayers subjected to an alternative minimum tax is projected to be N(t) = 35.5 1 + 6.89e−0.8674t (0 ≤ t ≤ 7) where N(t) is measured in millions and t is measured in years, with t = 0 corresponding to 2004.† What was the projected number of taxpayers subjected to an alternative minimum tax in 2006? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
A 60 room hotel is filled to capacity every night at a rate of $40 per room. The management wants to determine if a rate increase would increase their profit. They are not interested in a rate decrease. Suppose management determines that for each $2 increase in the nightly rate, five fewer rooms will be rented. If each rented room costs $8 a day to service, how much should the management charge per room to maximize profit?
