A house’s electricity use, over a one day period, is modelled by E(t) = t + sin(t) (kW), where t is in hours. What is cumulative energy consumption of the household over the period, approximately? Include units.
When a electrical appliances whose power usage is X watts is run for Y seconds it uses X×Y joules of energy. The energy unit used by electrical utilities in their monthly bills is the kilowatt-hour (kwh, that is, 1 kilowatts used for 1 hour) how many joules are there in a kilowatt hour? If electricity cost per $0.09 per kilowatt hour, how much does it cost per megajoule?
A retailer buys Dalmatian stuffies for $6 each. (Assume that the retailer has no other variable costs). The retailer can only charge by the dollar so no
need to consider cents -- e.g., $3 is a price you could choose, $3.11 or $2.99 are not. The potential customers have the following WTP.
