Solar energy generation along highways. The potential of using solar panels constructed above national highways to generate energy was explored in the International Journal of Energy and Environmental Engineering (December 2013). Two-layer solar panels (with 1 meter separating the panels) were constructed above sections of both east-west and north-south highways in India. The amount of energy (kilowatt-hours) supplied to the country’s grid by the solar panels above the two types of highways was determined each month. The data for several randomly selected months are provided in the table. The researchers concluded that the “two-layer solar panel energy generation is more viable for the north-south oriented highways as compared to east-west oriented roadways.” Compare the
Month | East-West | North-South |
February | 8658 | 8921 |
April | 7930 | 8317 |
July | 5120 | 5274 |
September | 6862 | 7148 |
October | 8608 | 8936 |

- 3. Residential power consumption has shown certain trends over recent years. Based on date reflecting average usage, engineers at the power company have modeled a town's rate of energy consumption by the function r(t) = 4 + sin(0.263t + 4.7) + cos(0.526t+ 9.4) Here, t measures time in hours after midnight on a typical weekday, and r is the rate of consumption in megawatts at time t. a) Using a graphing calculator (or equivalent), sketch a carefully labelled graph of r(t) on the interval [0,24]. b) Without calculating its value, explain the meaning of f f2 r(t) dt.arrow_forwardHelp with exercise 6 please?arrow_forwardThe basic laws for analysing an electric circuit are?arrow_forward
