6 In this question you must show detailed reasoning.}
The power output, \(p\) watts, of a machine at time \(t\) hours after it is switched on can be modelled by the equation \(\mathrm { p } = 20 - 20 \tanh ( 1.44 \mathrm { t } )\) for \(t \geqslant 0\).
Determine, according to the model, the mean power output of the machine over the first half hour after it is switched on. Give your answer correct to \(\mathbf { 2 }\) decimal places.
