Question 6

In this question you must show detailed reasoning.

The power output, p watts, of a machine at time t hours after it is switched on can be modelled by the equation p = 20 - 20 tanh (1.44 t) for t ⩾ 0.

Determine, according to the model, the mean power output of the machine over the first half hour

after it is switched on. Give your answer correct to 2 decimal places.
