Question

A large solar panel can generate power at a maximum rate of 400400400 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 CCC represent the number of hours when the sky is cloudy and LLL represent the number of hours when the sky is clear during which the solar panel can generate power without exceeding its capacity. 5C+32L \leq 4005C+32L≤4005, C, plus, 32, L, is less than or equal to, 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?

Answer 1

Box one: 5

Box two: 32

Part 2 is: No

Explanation:

Answer 2

Rate of power generation when the sky is cloudy= 5 watts per hour.

Rate of power generation when the sky is clear = 32 watts per hour.

Explanation:

A large solar panel can generate power at a maximum rate of 400 kilowatts per day.

Let the number of hours when the sky is cloudy =C

Let the number of hours when the sky is clear = L

Given the inequality:

`5C+32L \leq 400`

The rate at which the solar panel generates power when the sky is cloudy is 5 watts per hour.

The rate at which the solar panel generates power when the sky is clear is 32 watts per hour.
