The rate at which heat enters an air conditioned building is often roughly proportional to the difference in temperature between inside and outside. (a) Under this assumption, show that the cost of operating an air con- ditioner is proportional to the square of the temperature difference.
(b) Give a numerical example for a typical house and discuss implications for your electric bill.
(c) Suppose instead that heat enters the building at a rate proportional to the square-root of the temperature difference between inside and outside. How would the operating cost now depend on the temperature difference?
