The power generated by an electrical circuit (in watts) as a function of its current x (in amperes) is modeled by: P(x)=-12x^2+1

20x What current will produce the maximum power?

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.

At Becky's Restaurant, 10 out of 25 customers order wheat rolls. The rest of the customers order cornbread. Which does NOT repre
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

C. 25 ÷ 10

Step-by-step explanation:

A. 10/25

B. 2/5

C. 25 ÷ 10

D. 0.4

Total customers at Becky's restaurant = 25

Customers who order wheat rolls = 10

It means 10 out of 25 customers order wheat rolls

That is

10 / 25

Dividing both numerator and denominator by 5

= 2 / 5

2/5 in decimal

= 0.4

The option Which does NOT represent the part of the customers who order wheat rolls

is 25/10

Option C. 25 ÷ 10

26. A book costs sh. (x - 300) and a pen costs sh (x + 100). If Ndagire pad sh. 3300 for 3 books and 2 pens, how much did she pa
saul85 [17]

Answer:

500 and 900

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x - 300) + 2(x + 100) = 3300 ← distribute parenthesis

3x - 900 + 2x + 200 = 3300

5x - 700 = 3300 ( add 700 to both sides )

5x = 4000 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 800

Then

cost of book = x - 300 = 800 - 300 = 500

cost of pen = x + 100 = 800 + 100 = 900
