Wind power is the conversion of wind energy into a useful form, such as electricity, using wind turbines. The wind power \( W \) installed in a certain country, in megawatts (MW), \( t \) years after 2005 can be approximated by \( W(t)=8733.3(1.406)^{t} \), where \( t=0 \) corresponds to 2005 . Answer the following. a) What was the wind power capacity in the country in 2006 , in 2008 , and in 2010 ? b) Graph the function. a) The wind power capacity in 2006 was approximately MW. (Simplify your answer. Round to the nearest integer as needed.)
