Let be the performance level of someone learning a skill as a function of the training time . The derivative represents the rate at which performance improves. If is the maximum level of performance of which the learner is capable, then a model for learning is given by the differential equation where is a positive constant.
Two new workers, David and John, were hired for an assembly line. David could process units per minute after one hour and units per minute after two hours. John could process units per minute after one hour and units per minute after two hours. Using the above model and assuming that , estimate the maximum number of units per minute that each worker is capable of processing.
David: ,
John: .
