2. The storage in a river reach at a specified time is 3 hectare-meters. At the same instant, the inflow to the reach is 15 m3/s and the outflow is 20 m3/s. One hour later, the inflow is 20 m3/s and the outflow is 20.5 m3/s. Determine the change in storage in the reach that occurred, during the hour. What is the storage at the end of the hour? (1 hectare = 10000 m2).

The second largest public utility in the nation is the sole provider of electricity in 32 counties of southern florida. to meet the monthly demand for electricity in these counties, which is given by the inverse demand function p = 1,200 – 4q, the utility company has set up two electric generating facilities: q1 kilowatts are produced at facility 1, and q2 kilowatts are produced at facility 2 (so q = q1 + q2). the costs of producing electricity at each facility are given by c1(q1) = 8,000 + 6q12 and c2(q2) = 6,000 + 3q22, respectively. determine the profit-maximizing amounts of electricity to produce at the two facilities, the optimal price, and the utility company’s profit
