The hourly cost function (in dollars) of 3 generators, each as follows: where x₁ is the output power of the first generator, x₂ is the output power of the second generator, and x3, is the output power of the third generator. It is known that the three generators serve a load (total output power) of 744 megawatts. Determine the distribution of power that must be generated by each generator so that it can meet the needs load with minimum total operating costs.
