In 2012, U.S. consumption of renewable energy was 8.45 quadrillion Btu. Since the 1960s, consumption has been growing at a rate (in quadrillion Btu per year) given by f′(t) = 0.004t + 0.062 where t is years after 1960. Find f(t) and estimate U.S. consumption of renewable energy in 2024 (write your answer using 3 decimal places) Answer: The U.S. comsumption in 2024 will be quadrillion
