A trainee is hired by a computer manufacturing company to learn to test a particular part of a personal computer after it comes off the assembly line. The learning curve for an average trainee is given by N=200/4+21e^-0.1t
a)How many computers can a trainee be test after 2 days of training? So it would be N=200/4+21e^0.2 How do you compute 21e^0.2
Oops 21e^-0.2 I mean
You need a calculator or a table
e^.2 = 1.2214
To compute 21e^0.2, you need to use a scientific calculator or a calculator with an exponential function key.
Here's how you can calculate 21e^0.2:
1. Start by entering 0.2 into the calculator.
2. Press the exponential function key (often represented as "e^x" or "^").
3. Multiply the result by 21.
For example, using a scientific calculator:
1. Enter 0.2.
2. Press the "^" or exponential function key.
3. Enter 2 (the exponent) and press the "=" or "Enter" key.
4. Multiply the result by 21.
The final result will be the value for 21e^0.2.
Once you have this value, you can substitute it into the equation N = 200/4 + 21e^-0.1t to find the number of computers a trainee can test after 2 days of training.
