Answer:
5 amperes will produce the maximum power
Step-by-step explanation:
The power generated by an electrical circuit (in watts) as a function of its current c (in amperes) is modeled by: P(c)= -12c^2 + 120c.
To find out the maximum power we need to find the vertex
formula to find x -coordinate of vertex is
P(c)= -12c^2 + 120c is given in the form of y=ax^2+bx+c
a= -12, b = 120
c= 5 amperes will produce the maximum power

Your function is not defined at x=0 and x=4 (you have vertical asymptotes there). So, the denominator must be zero at x=0 and x=4. This is the case for
So, the function with that denominator is graphed.
The exponential functions change is represented by decay and the percentage rate of decrease is 1.00619%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
To determine if the function represents growth or decay, we substitute values to x.
If the values increase with an increase of x, it represents growth.
If the values decrease with an increase of x, it represents decay.
Step 2:
If
If
So as x increases the value of y decreases, so it represents decay.
Step 3:
The percentage rate of change is determined by dividing the difference of two consecutive values by the first value.
The percentage rate of change
Substituting the values, we get
The percentage rate of change .
As the values of y decrease with an increase in x, it is the percent decrease per unit.
