Alarge solar panel can generate power at a maximum rate of 400 kilowatts per day. it generates power at a constant rate when the sky is cloudy, and it generates power at a constant rate when the sky is clear.
let c represent the number of hours when the sky is cloudy and l represent the number of hours when the sky is clear during which the solar panel can generate power without exceeding its capacity.
5c+32l≤400
according to the inequality, at what rate does the solar panel generate power when the sky is cloudy, and at what rate does it generate power when the sky is clear?
the solar panel generates power at the rate of kilowatts per hour when the sky is cloudy, and per hour when the sky is clear.
does the solar panel exceed its maximum capacity when the sky is cloudy for 3 hours and clear for 6 hours? yes or no?
