A person's metabolic rate tends to go up after eating a meal and then, after some time has passed, it returns to a resting metabolic rate. This phenomenon is known as the thermic effect of food, and the effect (in kJ per hour) for one individual is F(t) = - 12.39 + 171.6te where is the number of hours that have elapsed since eating a meal. Find the total thermic energy of a meal for the next five hours after a meal by integrating the thermic effect function between tæ0 and t=5 The total thermic energy is about (Round to the nearest whole number as needed.)
