Question

The power in watts,P, that is generated by a certain electric circuit depends on the current in amperes ,i, and can be modeled by the equation P=20(i-3)^2+180, Where i>3. Which of the following gives the value of i in terms of P?
i=3+2squareroot5(P-180)

i=3+1/2sq p-180/5

Answer 1

Answer:

i = {√(P-180)/20}+ 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we simply need to make i the subject of the formula

that would be;

P -180 = 20(i-3)^2

Divide through by 20

(P-180)/20 = (i-3)^2

Find the square root of both sides

sqr (P-180)/20 = i-3

i = {√(P-180)/20}+ 3
