Psychologists sometimes use the function L(t)=A(1-e^(-kt)) to measure the amount L learned at time t. The number Arepresents the amount to be learned, and the number k measures therate of learning. Suppose that a student has an amount A of 200words to learn. A psychologist determines that the student learned20 vocabulary words after 5 minutes. a) Determine the rate of learning k b) Approximetely how many wors will the student have learned after 10 minutes? c) After 15 minutes? d) How long does it take for the student to learn 180words?

L ( t ) = A ( 1 e k t )
a) 20 = 200 ( 1 exp ( 5 k ) )
1= 10-10
10 = 9
=9/10
=0.9
5 k = ln ( 0.9 )
-5k=-0.105361
k=0.0210722
b) L ( t ) = A ( 1 e k t )
L = 200 ( 1 exp ( 0.0210722. ( 10 ) ) ) = 38.0002
c) L = 200 ( 1 exp ( 0.0210722. ( 15 ) ) ) = 54.2002
d) 180 = 200 ( 1 exp ( 0.0210722. t ) )
0.9 = 1 exp ( 0.0210722. t )
exp ( 0.0210722. t ) = 0.1
-0.0210722.t = -2.30259
t = -2.30259/-0.0210722
t= 109.271 min.
