Total power generated by wind worldwide doubles every 3 years. In a particular year, the world wind-generating capacity was abou
t 95 thousand megawatts. Find the continuous growth rate and give a formula for wind generating capacity W W (in thousand megawatts) as a function of t t , the number of years in the future
This is a problem of doubling time, the general formula for doubling time is
N = A(2)^( t /d) where N is the future wind generating capacity in thousand MW A is the initial wind generating capacity which is 95,000 MW d is the time it will double, which is 3 years t is the time in the future in years
N = 95(2)^( t / 3) is the formula for t<span>he continuous growth rate and give a formula for wind generating capacity W W (in thousand megawatts) as a function of t t , the number of years in the future</span>
