WORKER EFFICIENCY An efficiency study of the morning shift at a certain factory indicates that an average worker arriving on the job at 8:00 a.m. will have produced Q(t) = −t3 +9t2+12tunits thours later.

a. Compute the worker’s rate of production R(t) =Q'(t).


b. At what rate is the worker’s rate of production changing with respect to time at 9:00 a.m.?


c. Use calculus to estimate the change in the worker’s rate of production between 9:00 and 9:06 a.m.


d. Compute the actual change in the worker’s rate of production between 9:00 and 9:06 a.m.
