Question
Labor costs and learning. If the rate of labor use in Problem 75 is$$ g(x)=2,000 x^{-1 / 3} $$ then approximately how many labor-hours will be required to assemble the 9th through the 27 th control units? [Hint: Let $a=8$ and $b=27 .]$.
Step 1
This can be found by integrating the function from 8 to 27. So, we write the integral as: $$\int_{8}^{27} g(x) dx = \int_{8}^{27} 2000 x^{-1/3} dx$$ Show more…
