Question:
The total energy in megawatt-hr (MWh) used by a town is given by
where t ≥ 0 is measured in hours, with t = 0 corresponding to noon.
a. Find the power, or rate of energy consumption, P(t) = E'(t) in units of megawatts (MW).
b. At what time of day is the rate of energy consumption a maximum? What is the power at that time of day?
c. At what time of day is the rate of energy consumption a minimum? What is the power at that time of day?
d. Sketch a graph of the power function reflecting the times at which energy use is a minimum or maximum.
