A company manufactures computers. Function N represents the number of components that a new employee can assemble per day. Function E represents the number of components that an experienced employee can assemble per day. In both functions, t represents the number of hours worked in one day.

Question

Which function describes the difference of the number of components assembled per day by the experienced and new employees?

Answer 1

To describe the difference in the number of components assembled per day by an experienced employee and a new employee, you would use the functions \( E(t) \) and \( N(t) \), which represent the number of components assembled per day by experienced and new employees, respectively.

The difference of the number of components assembled per day by experienced employees and new employees can be expressed as:

\[ D(t) = E(t) - N(t) \]

Where:

• \( D(t) \) is the difference in the number of components assembled per day,
• \( E(t) \) is the function that represents the components assembled by an experienced employee,
• \( N(t) \) is the function that represents the components assembled by a new employee.

So, the function \( D(t) \) gives you the difference in performance between the two types of employees over the time \( t \).
