See the graph below for the explanation.

Work Step by Step

The importance of this given area is the total work done on an `object between instants t=t1 and t=t2 by the external forces. The average power can be found from the mean value theorem which is given as follow $P= \frac{∫_t1^t2 P (t)dt}{t_{2}-t_{1}} $ On the below graph , the average power is 3 W and the highest power is 6 W.
