Given information
As per the given question ,
- is the maximum capable level of performance.
- is constant
- is reasonable model for learning
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
We have be the performance of someone learning a skill as function of the training time and the derivative represents the rate at which performance improves.
Referring to the differential equation
a positive constant
be the maximum level of performance of which the learner is capable
From this differential equation see that always and if the level of performance is increasing and approaching then approaches zero
That is, level of performance level off.
Therefore, the model is appropriate with the answer in part (a)
Therefore,
The given differential equation is reasonable model for learning.
