Remark
There is no short way to do this problem and no obvious way to get the answer other that to solve each part.
Solve
A
Multiply by 2
x + 1.6 = 2(x + 0.1) Remove the brackets
x + 1.6 = 2x + 0.1*2
x + 1.6 = 2x + 0.2 Subtract x from both sides
1.6 = x + 0.2 Subtract 0.2 from both sides
1.6 - 0.2 = x
1.4 = x
Circle A
B
Subtract 2x from both sides.
3x - 2x = 1.4
Circle B
C
Remove the brackets.
4x + 6 = 2x - 6 Add 6 to both sides
4x + 12 = 2x Subtract 4x from both sides.
12 = -2x Divide by - 2
12/-2 = x
x = - 6 Don't circle C
D
I'm going to be very scant in my solution of this. You can fill in the steps.
3x = 4.2
x = 4.2/3
x = 1.4
Circle D
The reflex angle is the other angle
see image below
so
reflex=360-angle
reflex=360-60=300
reflex angle=300
see image below
so
reflex=360-angle
reflex=360-60=300
reflex angle=300
Given:
The power generated by an electrical circuit (in watts) as function of its current x (in amperes) is modeled by:
To find:
The current that will produce the maximum power.
Solution:
We have,
Here, leading coefficient is negative. So, it is a downward parabola.
Vertex of a downward parabola is the point of maxima.
If a parabola is , then
In the given function, a=-12 and b=120. So,
Putting x=5 in the given function, we get
Therefore, 5 watt current will produce the maximum power of 300 amperes.
