Given:

The power generated by an electrical circuit (in watts) as a function of its current x (in amperes) is modeled by

P(x)=-15x(x-8)

To find:

The current which will produce the maximum power.

Solution:

We have,

P(x)=-15x(x-8)

P(x)=-15x^2+120x

Differentiate with respect to x.

P'(x)=-15(2x)+120(1)

P'(x)=-30x+120      ...(i)

To find the extreme point equate P'(x)=0.

-30x+120=0

-30x=-120

Divide both sides by -30.

x=4

Differentiate (i) with respect to x.

P'(x)=-30(1)+(0)

P'(x)=-30 (Maximum)

It means, the given function is maximum at x=4.

Therefore, the current of 4 amperes will produce the maximum power.

Eric has $100,000 in savings account.The interest rate is 8 % per year and is not compounded.To the nearest Dollar,how much will
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

To calculate the simple interest, we say

S.I = (PxRxT)/100

Where P = the principal amount

R= rate in terms of %

And T= time.

Now P= $100 000

R= 8%

T= 3 years

S.I= (100,000 x8 x3)/100

=$2 400 000/100

= $24, 000

So the interest is 24000

Total amount he will be having = 100000 + 24 000

The total money he will be having in 3 years time = $124 000
