Learning Curve A learning curve is a graph of a function P(t) that measures the performance of someone learning a skill as a function of the training time t. At first, the rate of learning is rapid. Then, as performance increases and approaches a maximal value M, the rate of learning decreases. It has been found that the function P(t)=MCekt where k and C are positive constants and CM is a reasonable model for learning. a Express the learning time t as a function of the performance level P. b For s pole-vaulter in training, the learning curve is given by P(t)=2014e0.024t where P(t) is the height he is able to pole-vault after t months. After how many months of training is he able to vault 12 ft? c Draw a graph of the learning curve in part b.
A store offers customers a 30% discount on the price x of selected items. Then, the store takes off an additional 15% at the cash register. Write a price function P(x) that computes the final price of the item in terms of the original price x. (Hint: Use function composition to find your answer.)
Net Change Find the net change in the value of the function between the given inputs. g(t)=1t2; from -2 to 5
Economic Efficiency Marginal cost is the additional cost imposed by the production of one additional item. Marginal benefit is the additional benefit of producing one additional item. For a certain company, the marginal cost C, in dollars, if it is currently producing n items, is given by C(n)=5+n, and the marginal benefit B, in dollars, is given by B(n)=250.9n. Economic efficiency occurs at the production level where marginal cost and marginal benefit are the same. What production level n gives economic efficiency for this company? Round the function values to one decimal place.
Sales Growth In this exercise, we develop a model for the growth rate G, in thousands of dollars per year, in sales of the product as a function of the sales level s, in thousands of dollars. The model assumes that there is a limit to the total amount of sales that can be attained. In this situation, we use the term unattained sales for difference this limit and the current sales level. For example, if we expect sales grow to 3 thousand dollars in the long run, then 3-s is the unattained sales. The model states that the growth rate G is proportional to the product of the sales level s, and the unattained sales. Assume that the constant of proportionality is 0.3 and that the sales grow to 2 thousand dollars in the long run. a.Find the formula for unattained sales. b.Write an equation that shows the proportionality relation for G. c.On the basis of the equation from the part b, make a graph of G as a function of s. d.At what sales level is the growth rate as large as possible? e.What is the largest possible growth rate?
Arboriculture The growth of a red oak tree is approximated by the function G=0.003t3+0.137t2+0.458t0.839,2t34 where G is the height of the tree (in feet) and t is its age (in years). (a) Use a graphing utility to graph the function. (b) Estimate the age of the tree when it is growing most rapidly. This point is called the point of diminishing returns because the increase in size will be less with each additional year. (c) Using calculus, the point of diminishing returns can be found by finding the vertex of the parabola y=0.009t2+0.274t+0.458. Find the vertex of this parabola. (d) Compare your results from parts (b) and (c).
