Problema Solution
The "learning curve" describes the rate at which a person learns certain tasks. If a person sets a goal of typing N words per minute (wpm), the length of time t (in days) to achieve this goal is given by
t = -62.5 ln(1 - N/80
(a) According to this formula, what is the maximum number of words per minute? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) ________wpm
(b) Solve for N. N = _________
Answer provided by our tutors
t = -62.5ln(1- N/80)
1 - N/80 > 0
=> N < 80
maximum N = 79
N = 80 - 80e^(-t/62.5)
