Answer:

A current of 5 amperes will produce the maximum power.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be p(x) = -12\cdot x^{2}+120\cdot x, where p(x) is measured in watts and x in amperes. At first we must obtain the first and second derivatives of the function to determine the current associated with maximum power. That is:

First derivative

p'(x) = -24\cdot x + 120

Second derivative

p''(x) = -24\cdot x

Now, we equalize the first derivative to zero and solve it afterwards: (First Derivative Test)

-24\cdot x + 120 = 0

x = 5\,A

The only critical point is x = 5\,A.

As next step we need to assure that critical point leads to an absolute maximum by evaluating the critical point found above in the second derivative: (Second Derivative Test)

p(5)'' = -24\cdot (5)

p''(5) = -120

Which indicates that critical point leads to an absolute maximum.

A current of 5 amperes will produce the maximum power.

Pablo is dividing a dish of brownies for a party. The brownie mix cost $2.89. He cuts the brownies into squares that measure 3 i
d1i1m1o1n [39]
Okay so if the pan is 12 inches wide you can divided 3 inches by that and get 4. Then do the same thing for the length, 18, and you get 6. Multiply 6 by 4 to get the number of brownies Pablo cut.

You can check my answer by drawing a box on a piece of paper, and drawing little boxes inside. Keep in mind that each brownie is 1 unit, or 3 inches.

−5/8​+(−8/5​)<br><br> what does it equal?
mixer [17]
-89/40. First, u need to make a common denominator. In this case, u should use 40. Multiply he first term by 5, which get u -25/40. Multiply the second term by 8, which gets u -64/40. Now add the 2 negatives: -25/40 + (-64/40) u get -89/40

A submersible vessel was
katovenus [111]

Answer:

5.5 meters above start position.

Step-by-step explanation:

-Let X be the start position.

#Total distance below the start position is calculated as:

d_{down}=6+5.5\times 7\\\\=44.5\ m

#Total distance above the start position X:

d_{up}=50\ m

#Distance above/below start position is:

d=X-d_{down}+d_{up}\\\\=X-44.5+50\\\\d=X+5.5\ m

Hence, The vessel is 5.5 meters above the start position
